KHA Town Hall Spotlights Medical Surplus Supply Organization

Share

On February 13, KHA hosted a Town Hall meeting with guest Denise Sears, President and CEO of Supplies Over Seas (SOS) International. Sears reviewed best practices for responsible medical surplus management. She also detailed the impact SOS and recycling-partner hospitals are making by changing and saving lives through local, international, and disaster relief programs. Attendees learned about the cost effectiveness and community impact of a responsible hospital recycling program with SOS (one of only six organizations nationally accredited by the MedSurplus Alliance).

Members can access a copy of the slide deck and a recording of the event on the Town Hall page of the KHA website.
