In the wake of the pandemic, healthcare organizations were forced to venture beyond their trusted primary suppliers and into the unknown territory of secondary distributors – and the ripple effects are still being felt today in many healthcare facilities.

Tune in for insider tips on building a resilient supply chain in the face of ongoing disruptions and discover why the “old normal” may be a thing of the past!
