Through this partnership, independent hospitals can achieve system-level pricing and an average annual savings of 9% on supplies without being part of a large healthcare system. CH Consulting serves as a liaison between HPG and smaller community hospitals, conducting supply analysis and transitioning hospitals to HPG's portfolio to maximize savings opportunities. Hospitals report significant anticipated and actual savings from partnering with CH Consulting and HPG.
