“Enhancing the partnership with Intalere National Health Alliance opens many doors for CME as we continue to expand across the nation and bring our world-class healthcare equipment solutions to facilities,” said K.C. Meleski, Vice President of Sales for CME. “This year, a major focus for us is saving money for our customers, and this agreement is a critical part of that strategy to help facility operators find efficiencies and streamline their operations.”
In fact, this deeper agreement means access to more than $2.1 billion in group purchasing sales volume, allowing improved pricing for CME customers. In addition, INHA members can elevate to Tier Level 3 without any volume commitment, allowing for greater saving in healthcare equipment purchases.
“The expanded INHA agreement is a great opportunity to engage with new customers and add value without volume commitments,” said Cindy Martin, Director of National Accounts for CME. “We have already had significant interest and hope to further capitalize on what has been a successful partnership with the INHA. After many years of working with them, we are excited to be taking the next step and extending our reach into the national marketplace.”
