It began as a quest for a way to use the power of the Internet to reduce inefficiencies rampant in the healthcare supply chain. Prompted by increased recognition of those inefficiencies, five of the world’s largest medical product manufacturers—Johnson & Johnson, GE Healthcare, Baxter International Inc., Abbott Laboratories and Medtronic, Inc.—founded GHX in 2000. Today we are owned by 20 organizations representing manufacturers, distributors, hospitals and group purchasing organizations (GPOs).

GHX operates in the United States, Canada and seven European countries, and we employ more than 600 people worldwide. Our corporate headquarters is in Louisville, Colo., just outside of Denver, with offices in Nashville, Tenn., and Ambler, Pa.

Every year, GHX brings together the healthcare community at the Healthcare Supply Chain Summit, where the most pressing issues in the healthcare supply chain are addressed. Experts from all sides of the supply chain and from government and academia meet to share experiences and best practices and find ways to create joint value.
