HIGPA President Curtis Rooney attended last night’s 4th Annual Bellwether League Honoree Induction Dinner in Chicago, and spoke briefly about this year’s class and especially the highly respected GPO industry leaders honored.
Bellwether League Inc. is the healthcare supply chain leaders “hall of fame”; in July, the league revealed the names of its Bellwether Class of 2011 Honorees: Derwood B. Dunbar Jr., Laurence A. Dickson, Daniel J. Dryan, Steven P. Gray, Betty Hanna, Larry Malcolmson and John W. Strong.
Dunbar was an original founder of HIGPA, and served as MAGNET President & CEO. Rooney interviewed Dunbar regarding his contributions and commitments to the GPO industry for a December, 2010 issue of the Journal of Healthcare Contracting, which can be found here. John Strong was a past chairman and active member of HIGPA while President and CEO of Consorta and was a founding member of the Healthcare Group Purchasing Industry Initiative (HGPII).
With this current class of honorees, Bellwether League Inc. will have inducted 42 innovators, leaders and pioneers in healthcare supply chain management.
