This comprehensive directory profiles over 800 purchasing organizations that negotiate more than 65% of all health care products purchased by hospitals and related facilities, and the institutions they represent.

Multi-Hospital and Multi-Nursing Home Corporations
Alliances
Provider Management Companies
Physicians Offices
Integrated Delivery Networks

Recent years have brought tremendous changes to the business side of health care, including consolidations of health care organizations, as well as many closing their doors. As a result, the universe of health care group purchasing organizations is smaller than in years past, but the lists of Member Institutions, for which each GPO manages purchasing, have grown.

This Directory, with over 800 group purchasing organizations and 16,000 Member Institutions, reflects this change in the industry. Each and every listing in this directory has been verified by our editorial department. Detailed profiles are arranged alphabetically by organization name offering the most up-to-date data and contacts, including

mailing address,
phone and fax numbers,
e-mail addresses and web sites,
key organization executives
key purchasing agents
products negotiated,
expanded services,
vendor requirements,
membership fees,
group affiliations, and
alternate sites.

Listed as part of each organization profile are its member institutions – a total of over 16,000 individual institutions whose health care purchases are managed by the listed organization. They are arranged by state, and include city, contact name and phone number. Many also include a full mailing address. To ensure easy access to all listings in The Directory of Health Care Group Purchasing Organizations, it includes five indexes:

Expanded Services Index,
Geographic Index,
Key Personnel Index,
Member Institutions Index and
Organization Type Index.

The Directory of Health Care Group Purchasing Organizations is the most comprehensive and most up-to-date resource on the market place for information on Group Purchasing Organizations, their key executives, key purchasing agents and the member institutions they represent. This easy-to-use directory will be an invaluable tool for any one researching or marketing a product or service to these important organizations.
