Broward Health Recognized for Achievements
in Supply Chain Savings and Supplier Diversity

Broward Health has been recog-
nized for achievements in Supply
Chain Savings from Vizient.
Broward Health received both the
Participation Leadership and the
Impact Standardization Executive
Awards, which recognize health care
organizations for demonstrating
excellence in lowering costs in the
supply chain, streamlining purchas-
ing practices, earning additional
rebates and overall lowering pricing
from manufacturers.
“Congratulations to our Supply (l-r) Bryon Job, Jorge Hernandez, Paula Kessler,
Chain Team, as well as the Supplier Shaleta Dunn and Rand Ballard
Diversity Program at Broward
Health, for their hard work,” said Broward Health Chief Financial Officer Alex
Fernandez. “Lowering prices in the supply chain and streamlining purchasing prac-
tices results in better financial health for our system resulting in better care for our
patients.”
In addition, Broward Health received the Supplier Diversity Excellence Award.
This award recognizes members that best champion inclusion in their supply chain
and accelerate economic growth in the local community through the engagement,
empowerment, and utilization of minority, women, and veteran-owned business
enterprises.
“I am very proud of our team’s hard work and resulting achievements,” said Jorge
Hernandez, vice president of supply chain services and chief procurement officer at
Broward Health. “Inclusion in the supply chain through the engagement of minority
businesses helps foster diversity not just within Broward Health, but for our com-
munity as a whole.”
