Choosing health insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. HMOs typically offer lower costs and coordinated care but require referrals and in-network providers. PPOs provide more flexibility and out-of-network options but often come with higher premiums.

When you visit a hospital or clinic, everything from surgical tools and medications to gloves, masks and IV fluids has to be available, sterile and ready to use. Health care supply chain teams make that possible.

They are responsible for ordering, storing and delivering all the medical supplies and equipment that doctors, nurses and other health care workers rely on every day. Their work directly impacts patient care, safety and hospital efficiency. Thank you all for your work and essential contributions to Scripps.
