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, Manager - Physician Practice Purchasing, 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.”
Michael Schillinger, Senior Manager of Strategic Sourcing, American Red
Cross - Shared Services Center
