Our Purpose
Walk into any healthcare facility/provider organization and look around. Everything – and everyone – you see somehow was touched by the expertise of Supply Chain executives and professionals. These men and women account for the second largest expense category in a healthcare organization behind labor and serve as business, product and purchased service experts for the clinicians who deliver high-quality patient care. Because of their notable and noteworthy contributions to the business and clinical processes of caring for patients, these Supply Chain executives and professionals deserve to be honored and recognized for their innovative and visionary achievements, accomplishments and dedication to leadership and high-quality healthcare delivery. Bellwether League Inc.’s Hall of Fame for Healthcare Supply Chain Leadership was founded and funded for that purpose.
