In a recent interview with Pulse 2.0, Dan Hurry, president of Advantus, provided insights into how Advantus is revolutionizing health care supply chains.
Navigating Uncharted Waters
Launching a supply chain company amidst a global pandemic was no small feat. However, it is a point of pride for our team to have managed to ensure none of our hospitals or providers went without life-saving Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and essential medical equipment.

Nevertheless, we sees it as our responsibility to innovate supply chain solutions, reduce financial burdens, and maintain high-quality patient outcomes.
