Healthtrust Purchasing Group, L.P.

HealthTrust Performance Group is a leading healthcare performance improvement organization headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. It operates as a provider-owned and operated entity, dedicated to strengthening operational and clinical excellence for its members. The organization's mission is centered on making missions possible for healthcare providers by leveraging its expertise, scale, and innovation to deliver exceptional patient care.

HealthTrust offers a comprehensive suite of services, primarily functioning as a group purchasing organization (GPO) that provides market-leading pricing and total spend management advisory solutions. Its offerings include supply chain solutions, clinical integration, and workforce management, alongside specialized advisory services covering areas such as value analysis, pharmacy, laboratory operations, surgical services, and medical device management. HealthTrust serves approximately 1,800 hospitals and health systems in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, as well as over 69,000 non-acute locations including ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices, and long-term care facilities. It also extends its purchasing advantages to non-healthcare organizations through its CoreTrust GPO and non-acute providers via AdvantageTrust.

In 2024, HealthTrust Performance Group celebrated 25 years of service to the healthcare industry, marking its evolution from a traditional GPO to a comprehensive performance improvement company. Recent developments include the launch of AI-powered analytics platforms like Crimson AI and Signal in 2026, designed to provide data-driven insights for cost reduction and operational efficiency. The company also received two Modern Healthcare Best in Business Awards in 2026 for its Construction and Design, and Recruitment and Staffing programs, and expanded its contract coverage for high-cost therapies through a partnership with Onmark in early 2024. Led by President and CEO Ed Jones, HealthTrust continues to emphasize its provider-owned and operated model, leveraging its "operator advantage" to address complex healthcare challenges and drive value for its members.
