Medline has signed a multi-year prime vendor distribution agreement with Valley Health System to serve consumers in northern New Jersey and southern New York.
The announcement described the new agreement as an expansion of the companies’ previous collaborations.
“After being with a previous vendor for the last five years, the [Valley Health] System returns to Medline as the exclusive provider for all medical and surgical supplies across the healthcare provider’s full continuum of care, including its inpatient acute care hospital and lab facilities, and outpatient network of physician offices and home care services,” the agreement said.
Orville Carr, Valley Health Systems’ Supply Chain Director, said in the announcement, “It is critical that our clinicians have the products they need when they need them to care for our patients. Medline’s unwavering service to our system through the years has proven invaluable. Combined with their investments in on-hand inventory, price assurance plan and our collaboration with their Supply Chain Optimization team, it is a partnership that will help to optimize our supply chain operations going forward.”
Medline’s Montgomery, N.Y., distribution center, part of the company’s $2 billion Healthcare Resilience Initiative, will serve the Valley Health System’s network of facilities, HME Business reports. Read more.
