Healthcare supply chain has evolved from a transactional support function into a strategic driver of financial performance, clinical resilience, and enterprise transformation. Despite this evolution, many IDN leaders still struggle to clearly articulate supply chain’s value in language that resonates with CEOs, boards, clinicians, and finance leaders. In this session, discuss methods for elevating supply chain from a cost center to a strategic asset that enables growth, manages risk, improves patient outcomes, and sustains long-term system performance.

Learning Objectives:
1. Evaluate the supply chain narrative and its alignment with enterprise priorities such as margin, quality, and resilience.
2. Define supply chain impact in executive language that resonates with CEOs, boards, and the C-suite.
3. Analyze supply chain as a strategic leadership function, not an operational service.
4. Compare storytelling frameworks to advocate for investment, influence, and alignment.
