CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
“Prior to the existence of AdvantageTrust,
our physician clinics had access to approximately
two dozen vendor contracts that offered savings on
commonly used products and services. Once we
began working with AdvantageTrust, however, that
number quickly rose to over 200 contracts. Not
only did the range and breadth of available vendor
discounts increase, but AdvantageTrust created
several tools to make finding and accessing those
discounts remarkably easy. The AdvantageTrust website is a
breeze to navigate, and if you have any questions or
need additional information, their customer support
team is only a phone call or email away. Since
we introduced AdvantageTrust to our physician
practices, our office managers have begun to
actively search for contracted vendors with whom to
do business – something they previously avoided
because they didn’t know where to begin. This
active engagement of our managers has resulted in
increased savings throughout our organization.
It has also allowed our managers to independently
locate and connect with contracted vendors without
having to rely on the assistance of a purchasing
team. Better prices, more variety, increased
accessibility – going with AdvantageTrust is a win, win, win!”
Diane Flournoy, Accounting Manager, HCA Physician
Services
“The AdvantageTrust Purchasing Point Portal
has quickly become a valuable resource for our
physician practices. Our practice managers can
easily access the site to connect with contracted
vendors, set up accounts, view contract details, and
more. With the help of the AdvantageTrust
Team, we were able to customize the site to the
needs of our practices, featuring those vendors that
would bring them the most value, while providing
them with assurance that their purchases would be
compliant with both corporate and hospital policies. Through the addition of new featured vendors every
month and the enhancements the AdvantageTrust web
developers continually introduce, the site just
continues to grow and improve!”
Barbara Wilson, Assistant to VP Physician
Operations, Community Health Systems
“AdvantageTrust has provided our physician
network with savings and expansion of choices in
resources we would not have been able to achieve as
a single practice. The employee discounts
offered by vendors allow our physician practices to
become employers of choice.”
Carrie Uthe, Lakeshore Health Network
“AdvantageTrust continues to deliver value to
our members in so many ways. It provides them access
to medical, food, and office supplies along with
big-ticket capital items including furniture and
equipment—all at significant savings. This program
offers participants the buying power of a large
healthcare facility so that our members can enjoy
savings of 10% or more on what they need. Instant
savings and first rate customer service, you can’t
go wrong.”
Susan Claffey, Director, Contracting, America's
Blood Centers
“I honestly don’t know where our agency would
be without the savings we get with the HealthTrust
Purchasing Group. The new AdvantageTrust web
site makes it easier than ever to explore the
limitless resources available.”
Annette Cook, Office and Purchasing Manager,
Clermont Counseling Center/Family Service
“We have worked with AdvantageTrust for quite
some time and believe they are quite outstanding.
The money we, and our members, save is well beyond
anything we could accomplish on our own.”
Phil Collyer, Vice President, Business Partners
Program, National Human Services Assembly
“Good stewardship is key to having resources
to further the mission. Catholic Community
Connection became a member of this purchasing
cooperative in 2001. We have experienced the
benefits of collaboration with Consorta/HealthTrust
Purchasing Group that uses the collective purchase
volume of $17 billion from over 7,000 members to
negotiate supply agreements. Outcomes
benefiting our members include reduced supply
expense, value-added contracts, and direct
manufacturer rebates.
“Our local User Group participation has been
key to contract volume growth and education. The
staff at AdvantageTrust has been the main
Consorta/HealthTrust contacts for us and a helpful
resource to supply chain/purchasing expertise. The
local sales representatives communicate directly
with persons at each organization on specific
Consorta/ HealthTrust agreements and provide
customer service.”
Antoinette Horn, Vice President of Operations,
Catholic Community Connection
“The Konica Minolta program has so far saved
us $6.1M over the 5-year life of the installed
equipment. That’s a little over a million a year and
more installs coming.”

Strategic Sourcing, American Red Cross - Shared
