In our latest podcast, Ivan Garcia, Calidad Medical, and Carlie Elwell, Servicon, discuss hospital supplier diversity from the perspective of diverse-owned vendors. The two share with HASC’s Adam Blackstone about doing business with hospitals and the challenges they face as diverse suppliers.
Garcia and Elwell highlight the importance of educating hospitals about Assembly Bill 962 (2019), which requires many hospitals to report annually on their supplier diversity efforts. They also stress the value of building relationships between the two sectors and how hospitals can benefit from working with local-owned companies.
The vendors underscore that supplier diversity isn't just about meeting metrics. It also means including different perspectives that reflect hospitals’ patient populations.
