Our Story

Transforming health care supply chain challenges into opportunity

Advantus Health Partners began as an innovative supply chain department within a large health system. Its strategic approach successfully navigated extreme supply chain fluctuations during the Covid pandemic, enabling critical protection and patient care. One thing quickly became clear: Traditional, transactional approaches to the health care supply chain were no longer working. And Advantus could share its unique supply chain model to help other health systems succeed.

Bon Secours Mercy Health introduces Advantus Health Partners

In 2021, Bon Secours Mercy Health launched Advantus Health Partners as part of its portfolio of customizable business-to-business health care offerings.

Advantus had succeeded in choosing partners in core areas like distribution, laboratory supplies, clinical engineering and global sourcing that served Bon Secours Mercy Health well before and throughout the Covid pandemic, achieving $87 million in supply chain savings.

Bon Secours Mercy Health is one of the 20 largest health systems in the United States and the fifth-largest Catholic health system in the country.
