Supplier access program
Our priorities and efforts around supplier access
Our company’s purpose is to improve the health and well-being of our customers and communities - we won't stop until health care is better for all.
We support small and diverse businesses in our local communities through our supplier access program. We believe the health of our state depends on the economic strength of our local communities, which includes the impact of small and diverse businesses.
Our suppliers are key to the success of our mission. We want to work with businesses that are at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by those from communities that are historically not always represented.
Products and services we use
We want diverse partners with quality products and services, competitive prices, and excellent customer service – we want the best for our company and our members. Below is a partial list of the types of products and services for which we occasionally use an outside vendor:
