Purchasing

In 2021, UMass Memorial Health made an “Impact Purchasing Commitment” that will create a major shift in our procurement strategies to help address economic, racial and environmental inequities in our community. We joined 11 other health systems across the country in this leadership commitment organized by the Healthcare Anchor Network, which aims at collectively increasing spend with women and minority owned business (MWBEs) by more than $1 Billion by 2025.

Determination of Needs (DoN) Funding Requests for Proposal

UMass Memorial Health – HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital works with and reports to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH). The Determination of Need law and regulation governs Health Care Facilities as that term is defined in M.G.L. c 111, § 25B. Under Massachusetts law M.G.L. c. 111, §§ 25C and 51, proposals for a Substantial Capital Expenditure, Substantial Change in Services and Original Licensure as well as many Transfers of Ownership and Changes in Site for Health Care Facilities must be reviewed and approved under the DoN Regulatory scheme.
