Retail approach to health care supply chain sparks new
partnership between Advantus Health Partners and Warrior
Outdoor
CINCINNATI and ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The pandemic caused many organizations to
adapt and make changes, which holds true for Advantus Health
Partners and Warrior Outdoor, LLC. The leaders of Advantus Health
Partners accelerated the launch of the health care solutions and
supply chain company to meet the health care industry's needs at a
critical time, while Warrior Outdoor expanded into Personal
Protective Equipment in an effort to further support the indigenous
communities they serve.
"We have a commitment to supplier diversity
and impact purchasing, to advance minority-owned businesses,
eliminate waste and deliver true value, while prioritizing quality
patient care. Warrior is a great partner for this important work,"
said Dan Hurry, president, Advantus
Health Partners.
In a new strategic collaboration for the two companies, which
share a retail approach to health care solutions, they will improve
how care is delivered to the 1.9 million American Indians and
Alaska Natives that Warrior serves through their supply of medical,
janitorial, and industrial products and government sourcing
business lines.
"We are committed to improving the quality of life for our
people by supplying superior medical products, technological
advancements, and access to affordable medications," said
Charles Nading, CEO of Warrior
Outdoor, LLC. "Partnering with Advantus allows us to provide modern
health care solutions to historically underserved tribal
communities, leveraging a nimble, retail approach to supply chain
that helps us all succeed."
Advantus focuses on flexibility and options in their innovative
approach to health care supply chain, which is part of their retail
philosophy that also includes strategic supplier partnerships with
companies such as GE Healthcare for health care technology
management, Medline for supplies and HHS for hospitality
services.
"When we learned that some American Indian communities are more
than a four-hour drive from a hospital, and many Alaska Native
villages are not accessible by roads and only accessible by bush
plane or snow machine, we wanted to partner with Warrior Outdoor to
ensure the right medical equipment and supplies are in place for
all the health care needs of these communities," said Dan Hurry, president of Advantus Health
Partners. "We have a commitment to supplier diversity and impact
purchasing, to advance minority-owned businesses, eliminate waste
and deliver true value, while prioritizing quality patient care.
Warrior is a great partner for this important work."
The strategic partnership between Warrior Outdoor and Advantus
maximizes Warrior's ability to bring access and savings to the
tribal nations it serves, while establishing Warrior as a preferred
vendor for all sourcing needs within underserved tribal hospitals,
senior living, food services, and casino/hotel
management.
