Group Purchasing Organization Information

 

UMDNJ has entered into an agreement with a new Group Purchasing Organization (GPO), Premier/Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA), in order to maximize savings while increasing supply chain efficiencies.  The transition process from our former GPO, Novation, is ongoing.

In addition, due to the Premier/GNYHA agreement, UMDNJ will now be utilizing Cardinal Health for both pharmaceutical and medical surgical products.
