Who is HSCA?
ABOUT HSCA
What is a GPO?
A group purchasing organization (GPO) is an entity that helps healthcare providers — such as hospitals, nursing homes and home health agencies — realize savings and efficiencies by aggregating purchasing volume and using that leverage to negotiate discounts with manufacturers, distributors and other vendors. Find out why our GPO members are valued partners in healthcare.
About Us
