CHCA Group Purchasing Services
The medical needs of children are substantially different from those of adults. To meet those needs,
children’s hospitals must have access to medical products and services designed and manufactured to
meet the unique needs of children.
CHCA’s Group Purchasing Services division works closely with Owner Hospitals to return cost savings through a
highly effective group-purchasing program, with strict adherence to the Health Industry Group Purchasing Association
(HIGPA) Code of Conduct. CHCA’s goal is to address the areas of supply chain management that deliver
children’s hospitals cost reduction opportunities with the greatest access to specialized pediatric products.
