The Health Care Buyers Group is comprised of individuals in the purchasing and supply chain departments in various companies that are related to the healthcare industry. A few representative organizations are Texas Children's Hospital, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas Health Science Center, Medical Clinic of Houston, Memorial Healthcare, Shriners Hospital, and Mann Berkley Eye Center.

The goal of the group is to provide members in the healthcare industry development opportunities and valuable contacts with your peers, including local networking, educational events to keep you current on supply management topics and trends, certification preparation and opportunities to accrue continuing education hours for recertification. Typically, a guest speaker addresses topics and/or products of interest to the medical industry supply chain community.

Meetings are held throughout the year and the next meeting will be held in late February. The specific date, time and location will be announced later in January. There are initiatives currently underway to determine the most optimal time and place to meet in order to accommodate the needs of the members.
