Capella Healthcare featured in HPG’s Source Magazine: Capella Healthcare was recently featured in two articles in HealthTrust Purchasing Group’s quarterly magazine Source. Lori Wooten, SVP, CFO-Hospital Operations, and Brian Hitchcock, VP-Materiel Resource Operations, are pictured on the cover promoting a feature article about Capella’s relationship with HealthTrust. Using the company more as a co-sourcing partner than a GPO has helped Capella operate efficiently. “It doesn’t make sense for us to build a large infrastructure … infrastructure that would add significant cost to our hospitals,” says Wooten. “But we still need that expertise for our facilities, and that’s why we partner with HealthTrust.”
Another article inside features Al Smith, SVP, Chief Information Officer, who discusses the benefits of partnering with Parallon Technology Solutions, an alliance that has been in place since the company’s founding more than eight years ago.
