Medline announced on Oct. 14 that it has entered into a multi-year prime vendor distribution agreement with Calif.-based community hospital, Kaweah Health.
The press release on the agreement says that Medline will serve as the healthcare organization’s exclusive provider of medical and surgical supplies.
The press release adds, “With more than 600 beds, Kaweah Health is the largest community healthcare organization providing comprehensive health services to Tulare and Kings Counties. Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare organization initially began looking for cost savings opportunities while maintaining the highest level of patient care with quality products. Building on a relationship spanning over a decade, Medline conducted a thorough review of Kaweah Health’s product usage and supply chain processes, identifying opportunities for cost savings and increasing operational efficiency gains within the health system.”
Kaweah Health will be serviced out of Medline’s distribution center in Tracy, Calif.
