Medline has been named a 2021 “Supplier of the Year,” by the Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) for “ensuring the highest levels of system performance and customer experience.”
“The 2021 GHXcellence Award winners embody healthcare at its best by exhibiting and encouraging a spirit of innovation, leadership, creativity and collaboration,” said Bruce Johnson, president and CEO, GHX. “We are proud to recognize the individuals and organizations that are steadfast in their commitment to transforming the business of healthcare for the benefit of many.”
The awards were presented during a celebration and dinner on May 11 at the GHX Summit 22 in Hollywood, Florida. Founded in 2000, GHX pioneered healthcare’s largest cloud-based supply chain network, which today connects tens of thousands of healthcare organizations across the globe.

Medline received the award in the “Large Organization” category, in recognition of “top GHX performance metrics” in supply chain, including purchase order volume, trading partner growth and discrepancy reduction. According to GHX: “During 2021, Medline Industries focused on driving automation across the GHX network to deliver efficiencies both internally and for their customers’ benefit. They created easy solutions such as implementing automation for over 40 million business transactions with customers and partners. This reduced all parties’ costs of doing business, allowing resources to be redirected to patients served.
