As we move further into 2026, CPG continues to gain momentum, expanding both our member base and the strength of our vendor network. This growth is a direct reflection of our shared commitment to operating smarter in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.

​With that momentum comes a clear priority: maximizing the value already within reach.

In the months ahead, we are sharpening our focus on contract utilization to ensure members fully leverage the savings, efficiencies, and strategic advantages available through the CPG Vendor Network. While expanding our portfolio remains important, we see an immediate, tangible impact in helping you unlock more from the contracts you already have access to today.

Through our ongoing engagement with members, one theme has become increasingly clear: the CPG Vendor Network offers significant opportunities that, in many cases, are not yet being fully utilized. Whether due to time constraints, competing priorities, or simply a lack of visibility, we understand how easy it is for these opportunities to go untapped.

Our goal is to change that — together.

Procurement is no longer just a transactional function; it is a strategic tool. When approached intentionally, it can help health centers and community-based organizations reduce administrative burden, standardize purchasing, strengthen vendor relationships, and ultimately reinvest savings back into patient care and mission-driven work.

To support this effort, our team will be:

  • Proactively identifying high-impact contract categories where utilization can drive immediate value.
  • Sharing more targeted insights and data to help you benchmark and prioritize opportunities.
  • Increasing direct outreach and support through our Member Resource Consultants
  • Highlighting specific vendor solutions that align with the evolving needs of health centers.

 

We also want to share a brief preview of what lies ahead: the CPG Member Portal is currently in development and will be released later this spring. This new platform will make it easier than ever to access contracts, explore vendors, and identify savings opportunities. Please be on the lookout for an official announcement soon.

In the meantime, we encourage you to take a fresh look at the CPG Vendor Network and consider where there may be untapped opportunities within your organization. One of the best ways to get started is by connecting directly with our team. We invite you to schedule a brief Contract Utilization Review with your Member Resource Consultant — a simple, no-pressure conversation focused on identifying quick wins and longer-term opportunities tailored to your organization.

As always, our approach remains member-first, non-exclusive, and grounded in partnership. We are here to support you — not just in accessing contracts, but in maximizing their value.

Thank you for your continued trust and engagement. We look forward to collaborating more closely with you in the months ahead to ensure you are getting the full benefit of everything CPG has to offer.
