Owens & Minor, Inc., a global healthcare solutions company,
announced today that it has signed a multi-year medical and
surgical supply distribution agreement with Scripps Health, a $3.2
billion private, nonprofit, integrated health system based in San
Diego, California. Scripps ranks among the top health systems in
the nation and treats more than 750,000 patients annually. Under
terms of the five-year agreement, Owens & Minor will serve the
five acute-care hospital campuses and the non-acute care,
outpatient centers and clinics that comprise the Scripps system in
Southern California.
“Scripps is intensely focused on providing the highest standards
of excellence and care for our patients,” said Cecile Hozouri, AVP,
Supply Chain Management for Scripps Health. “We sought a strategic
supply chain partner who will enable us to achieve real and lasting
improvement in delivering products to the point of care. We know
that every element of what we do is critical to supporting our
mission of excellence in patient care.”
The health system was seeking a long-term supply chain partner
that could provide low unit of measure, just-in-time supply
distribution as well as the more complex services necessary for
clinical and non-clinical areas that support patient-centered
care.
“Owens & Minor earned this agreement because we will help
Scripps advance their supply chain capabilities throughout their
system,” said Jeff Hastings, SVP, Distribution Solutions for Owens
& Minor. “Our vision and strategy are closely aligned with
Scripps, as we are committed to supporting our provider customers
as they deliver exceptional patient care.”
Owens & Minor will serve the Scripps system from one of its
top performing distribution centers located in Ontario, California,
starting in March 2019. Financial details of the agreement were not
made public.
