HENRICO, VA (September 30, 2026) – Virginia Community Healthcare Association (VCHA) is excited to announce CHCollective as VCHA’s new enterprise group purchasing organization (GPO) partner, expanding the purchasing resources available to VCHA member health centers. At no cost to VCHA members, CHCollective provides direct pathway to the Provista-Vizient purchasing portfolio, giving health centers access to significant negotiated discounts, purchasing solutions, and dedicated support designed specifically for the needs of community health centers.
Through the partnership, VCHA members will have access to CHCollective’s extensive portfolio of contracts for supplies, equipment, products, and services. CHCollective will work directly with participating health centers to help identify savings opportunities, navigate available contracts, maximize the value of their purchasing decisions while allowing health centers to remain focused on patient care and community needs.
“Community health centers are constantly looking for ways to stretch their resources further, and purchasing is an important part of that equation,” said Tracy Douglas, CEO of VCHA. “We’re pleased to partner with CHCollective to give our members access to additional purchasing opportunities and dedicated support that understands the unique needs of health centers. Ultimately, every dollar saved through more strategic purchasing is a dollar that can help support the services and care our health centers provide to their communities.”
As part of the collaboration, CHCollective will provide hands-on support to VCHA members throughout the purchasing process, including assistance with Provista-Vizient enrollment, site alignment, contract access, and ongoing account support. CHCollective’s health center-focused approach is intended to help members navigate available contracts and identify opportunities that align with their individual operations and purchasing needs.
