Valley Health System, a regional healthcare system that serves residents in northern New Jersey and southern New York, recently selected Medline Industries, Inc. as its prime vendor distribution partner for medical and surgical supplies. The three-year partnership will deliver an estimated savings in excess of $1 million by driving distribution, product and supply chain efficiencies. This agreement is expected to be valued at approximately $30 million in supply chain and related spend over the term of the agreement.
