Your Savings Are Waiting And You Shouldn’t Pay for Them
The savings are there. The tools are there. We are here. And after spending the past several weeks visiting health centers and speaking with members across the country, I need to make sure you’re using all three.
Here’s the reality: many of our members are leaving real money on the table. Vendor contracts negotiated on your behalf are going underutilized. Purchasing habits haven’t been benchmarked in years. Savings that exist right now — through partners you already have access to as a CPG member are simply not being captured.
I understand why. You’re running health centers. I used to be working right alongside you and your colleagues before I joined CPG. Your focus is on patients, on staff, on compliance, and on the hundred things that demand your attention every day. Optimizing your purchasing portfolio doesn’t always make it to the top of the list.
That’s exactly why CPG exists and why I’m writing to you today.
New Vendors. New Opportunities. Right Now.
And the opportunity has never been greater. In recent months, CPG has welcomed new vendor partners across a number of categories — AI and other technology vendors, diverse suppliers, and other categories where our members need some relief. These are opportunities that have been featured in previous newsletters and are highlighted in this edition and our new catalog. If you’ve been skimming past those announcements, I’d encourage you to go back and take a closer look. These are not routine additions. They represent real, tangible ways to reduce costs in areas your health center is likely already spending.
Don’t Pay 50% for Something Your Membership Already Covers
Here’s what makes this urgent: I’m seeing a growing presence of third-party consulting firms approaching health centers and offering to identify these very savings — in exchange for 50% of whatever they find. On savings that, in many cases, are already available to you through your FREE CPG membership, as evidence has shown that the savings these firms present to you are actually our pricing agreements.
Let that sink in.
CPG will do the same work—reviewing your current spending, identifying opportunities for improvement, and connecting you with the right vendor partners—at no cost to you. Members who have completed purchasing reviews with our team have uncovered meaningful savings and operational efficiencies that can be reinvested where they matter most: supporting patients, staff, and the communities they serve.
Your New Member Portal Goes Live This Month
And the timing could not be better. This month, CPG’s Member Portal goes live — and it will be a game changer. For the first time, you will have direct, on-demand access to our full portfolio of vendor partners, contract information, and cost savings solutions — all in one place, available whenever you need it. This tool is built specifically to make it easier for you to act on the opportunities your membership already includes. Watch for your access information and onboarding details in the coming days.
That’s not a promotion. That’s not a limited-time offer. That is simply what your membership includes — and as of this month, it includes more than ever before.
Take One Step This Month
I’m asking every CPG member to connect with us. You can reach out directly by clicking here to get in touch with our team — or simply reply to this newsletter, and we will be reaching out to members personally this summer to schedule time together.
The next move is easy. But it has to be made.
