Coastal Carolinas Health Alliance’s regional focus drives greater efficiencies for its member hospitals. By Chris Petersen

The strength that Coastal Carolinas Health Alliance (CCHA) brings to its member hospitals can be found right there in the organization’s name. As CEO Yvonne Hughes explains, the organization’s regional focus is one of its strongest advantages, and provides its member hospitals with significant savings across their entire supply chain operations. This makes it different from a typical group purchasing organization, and Hughes says it’s why the alliance has been so successful in serving its members.
