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.
