Why Advantus Health Partners?

We believe in the next generation of health care supply chain. With innovation woven into our DNA, we strive to deliver cutting-edge solutions for your organization that break the status quo.

You need a health care solution that goes beyond just “terms and conditions.”

Who we are

Advantus Health Partners is a subsidiary of Bon Secours Mercy Health, the fifth largest Catholic health care system in the U.S. We bring years of expertise in supply chain and health care to the table. Our goal is to deliver more than conventional approaches to health care supply chain needs.

Yes, our roots are in supply chain and, yes, we offer traditional solutions, such as cost reduction, top quartile pricing, member benefits and an expansive product portfolio.

But we also recognize that GPOs often fail to deliver on value. That’s why we embrace the next generation of supply chain, one that is clinically aligned, digitally driven and focused on innovation. Health care supply chains should consist of an army of doers collaborating fiercely to meet the unique needs of health care organizations.

Our mission & promise

Our mission is to drive value within your organization through collaboration, optimization and innovation.

We promise to work with and for you to develop solutions that meet your organization’s needs. We promise to engage key stakeholders in continuous, inclusive improvement, align the best minds in the industry and use cutting-edge insights. At the end of the day, our goal is to transform historical processes while maintaining integrity, inclusion and trust in what we do and the results we produce.

We will accomplish our promise by

Treating all team members, clients and community members with respect
Celebrating success while learning from mistakes and missed opportunities
Knowing that each day counts. Failure today does not mean failure tomorrow, and success today doesn’t necessarily mean success tomorrow
Challenging each other and our processes with the goal of continuous improvement
Lifting one another up to drive collaboration and collective success
Engaging, coaching and supporting team members. We want people to be excited to work with Advantus

Our history

Our work improving supply chain began in 2016 under Mercy Health and continued after the merger of what is now Bon Secours Mercy Health. We focused on consolidation efforts and standardizing timelines.

We leveraged scale for contracting, aligned strategic partnerships, built upon best practices and integrated an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to maximize value and achieve the best price.

After the Bon Secours Mercy Health merger, we realized that the transactional GPO was no longer the best solution. In 2021, we created Advantus Health Partners as an independent LLC. Our goals remain the same: to support the supply chain needs of health care organizations with innovative solutions.
