Future of Supplier Diversity in Health Care
 More institutions will have to be focused/engaged into the future
 Health Systems
 Group Purchasing Organizations (Premier, Vizient, Health Trust, etc.)
 Large multi-national suppliers (Siemens,GE, Hill-Rom, etc.)
 Health Insurers (e.g., United Health Care, Humana, etc.)
