NORTHFIELD, Ill. – PeaceHealth, a Vancouver, Wash.-based health system serving the Northwest, recently awarded Medline both its physician office and post-acute care prime vendor agreements. Through the agreements, Medline will provide an extensive portfolio of medical surgical supplies, equipment and devices to more than 400 PeaceHealth clinics – physician office, ambulatory care, community health and home and hospice care — in Oregon and Washington, with expansion plans for Alaska. Medline resources will also help enable PeaceHealth to more easily monitor key metrics, such as item utilization, contract compliance, price accuracy and spend by product categories for these divisions. “From remote areas in Alaska to urban centers in Oregon, PeaceHealth cares for everyone,” said Craig Cottrell, director of field sales programs at Medline, “And it’s a privilege to be a strategic partner with an organization that so clearly operates within a healing mission that drives all that they are and all that they do.” Medline also recently signed a prime vendor agreement with Youngstown, Ohio-based QUICKmed, which provides walk-in medical treatment for non-emergency health issues. Services include well visits, sick visits, medication refills, lab testing, X-rays, IV therapy and immunizations, among others. The provider is currently enhancing its standalone locations to offer primary care, women’s health and occupational health services.
