February 29, 2024- The healthcare industry is still dealing with and navigating the impacts of global supply chain disruptions. To ensure the continuity of the supply chain, AdventHealth is partnering with Medline to create a comprehensive solution that will ensure supply chain resiliency. Through a multi-faceted partnership, AdventHealth and Medline will allow AdventHealth to own its inventory and distribution strategy and create a structure to accommodate future growth.
As part of the partnership, AdventHealth will continue to utilize Medline as its prime vendor distributor for all medical and surgical supplies throughout its network of more than 50 hospitals and additional care sites in nine states.
The partnership also assumes the co-development of a 300,000-square-foot AdventHealth Consolidated Service Center (CSC) that is now up and running in Central Florida, after a ribbon cutting ceremony on February 23. The CSC contains supplies for AdventHealth’s hospitals and care sites throughout Florida to ensure product availability for patient care.
