With policy and legislation changes happening system-wide, industry and member participation is essential. The ability of HIDA members to educate and inform key decision-makers has a direct impact on the healthcare supply chain and the provider customers we serve. Regardless of company size or type, distributors play a critical role in the success of HIDA’s advocacy efforts.
