Capstone Health Alliance and WellLink (Formerly CHAMPS) Group Purchasing Renew 10-Year Strategic Partnership

Together Delivering Aggregation Power and Supply Chain Savings to Members

ASHEVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Capstone Health Alliance and WellLink Group Purchasing (formerly CHAMPS Group Purchasing) are proud to announce the renewal of their longstanding strategic partnership, marking over a decade of collaboration in delivering innovative group purchasing solutions for healthcare providers across the United States.

Since the inception of the partnership in 2014, Capstone and WellLink have worked together to bring unparalleled aggregation power to their collective membership, driving down costs and improving supply chain efficiency for hospitals, health systems, and healthcare providers across the continuum of care. This renewed agreement builds on previous successes and further empowers WellLink to access Capstone’s robust contract portfolio, strategic sourcing support, and clinical expertise—while Capstone members continue to benefit from WellLink's negotiation strength and service excellence, adding to the Capstone portfolio valuable agreements to benefit our membership.

“WellLink has been a trusted aggregation partner for more than ten years,” said Yolandi Myers, President of Capstone Health Alliance. “We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to advancing healthcare supply chain value together. This partnership continues to help providers navigate financial pressures while maintaining access to high-quality products and services. We are not the traditional GPO, and our continued partnership with WellLink shows Capstone’s commitment to finding and retaining valuable partners in our ongoing quest to driving down the total cost of healthcare.”

“Our relationship with Capstone has always been focused on elevating member value through transparency, collaboration, and a strong aggregation portfolio,” said Maria Summers, Vice President of WellLink Group Purchasing. “With this renewal, our combined efforts will further empower healthcare providers to thrive in today’s evolving environment.”

Through the power of group purchasing organizations (GPOs), healthcare providers gain access to:
• Competitive pricing through national aggregation power
• Supply chain efficiency and contract standardization
• Clinical integration and category expertise
• Strategic sourcing guidance to navigate market shifts and product disruptions
• Reduced administrative burden and enhanced data analytics
