Allina Health joined Vizient's Community Contracting Program in 2023 to lead a new economic development and impact strategy. The goal is to expand business opportunities for local, diverse suppliers with health care providers and other community-based organizations and large employers in Minnesota.
“We look forward to this event and continuing to strengthen our connections as a community partner. At Allina Health, our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging commitments extend beyond our mission as a care provider to our roles as an employer, purchaser of goods and services and a community partner,” said Tom Lubotsky, vice president of Supply Chain at Allina Health.
Allina Health’s guiding principles include promoting the inclusion of businesses owned by women, BIPOC, people with disabilities, veterans and people who identify as LGBTQ+. By shifting more spending for supplies and services to diverse local businesses, Allina Health will help fuel job growth and create an economically sustainable ecosystem that’s good for the health and well-being of patients, too.
