Minneapolis (March 4, 2025) — Allina Health announced it has been recognized by healthcare supply chain leader Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) as a recipient of the 2024 Supply Chains of Distinction Award. This award honors top performing hospitals and health systems in North America that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to supply chain excellence, innovation and resilience.

Thomas Lubotsky, Allina Health Vice President of Supply Chain and Chief Supply Chain Officer, shared these sentiments regarding this acknowledgement: "Earning the 2024 Supply Chains of Distinction Award from GHX is evidence of the strength among our procure to pay operations as we strive each day to produce the perfect order, assuring products arrive on time and in full while ensuring timely payment to our suppliers and care to our patients. There are thousands upon thousands of orders that need to be managed carefully each day. Allina Health is at the very top among providers today in bringing forth this excellence.
