The Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) announced it has been recognized by healthcare supply chain leader Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) as a recipient of the 2025 Supply Chains of Distinction Award. This award honors top performing hospitals and health systems in North America that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to supply chain excellence, innovation and resilience.
“It is an incredible honor to once again receive the Supply Chains of Distinction Award from GHX,” said Michael Fegley, director of Materials Management at MVHS. “Earning this recognition again speaks to the consistency, dedication and excellence of our team. I’m extremely proud of their continued commitment to supporting high-quality patient care through strong supply chain performance.”
The Supply Chains of Distinction Award is based upon a set of “perfect order” metrics, rated as a percentage of purchase order lines sent across the GHX Exchange (integrated) that are touchless and completely automated, from purchase through payment.
“At a time when healthcare faces increasing cost pressure, workforce constraints and ongoing supply chain fragility, these organizations are proving that operational excellence is both possible and essential,” said Tina Vatanka Murphy, President and CEO of GHX. “By embracing automation, trusted data and AI-enabled insights, they are setting a new standard for supply chain leadership – strengthening resiliency, advancing financial sustainability and helping to enable better patient care at a lower cost. In doing so, they are helping shape a healthcare system that is more agile, more transparent and better prepared for the challenges ahead.”
