IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vizient, Inc. today announces that Intermountain Healthcare, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, has signed a 10-year membership agreement that will enable a new level of collaboration as the two companies work together to implement a wide range of solutions and services aimed at providing patients access to high-quality care at the most affordable cost.

“Intermountain Healthcare is one of the nation’s health care leaders, and we are excited to begin working more closely with their supply chain and clinical teams,” said Rand Ballard, chief customer officer for Vizient. “We believe that their commitment to Vizient, together with the breadth and depth of the services and solutions we offer, will help enable them to achieve their goals for lowering costs while maintaining the highest standard for quality of care.”
