Group Purchasing and Member Discounts
The Michigan Primary Care Association is pleased to establish group purchasing arrangements with our endorsed business partners for the benefit of our member health centers. The MPCA is diligent in the vetting process of prospective companies that have the potential to help our members save on operational costs with quality goods and services. Each agreement is reviewed and approved by MPCA’s Budget & Finance Committee and our Board of Directors.
If you have specific questions about the services of a vendor, please reach out to the appropriate point of contact listed below.
Please direct questions about the MPCA endorsed business partner program to Chief Financial Officer Matt Herwaldt (517.381.8003).
