Guelph General Hospital Joins MMC’s Warehousing & Logistics Services
Mohawk Medbuy (MMC) is pleased to share that Guelph General Hospital (GGH) is transitioning to our Warehousing and Logistics services. By centralizing their logistics with MMC, GGH joins other leading Ontario hospitals that benefit from daily deliveries out of our 100,000 square-foot Distribution Centre located in Oakville.
MMC's Logistics & Warehousing services are designed to streamline processes, ensuring timely access to essential health care supplies. Guelph General Hospital, a 225-bed, acute care facility, previously oversaw a combination of in-hospital and off-site storage for its vital medical supplies. With this transition, they’ll be able to optimize their facility space and workload by leveraging MMC’s just-in-time logistics service for medical / surgical supplies they order from our Oakville Distribution Centre.
“This transition will support our hospital’s ability to maintain continuity of supply while reducing operational complexity,” says Gavin Webb, Guelph General Hospital’s VP of Finance & CIO. “We’re looking forward to leveraging MMC’s inventory optimization to help our clinical teams focus on delivering exceptional care to patients.”
As one of the largest health care Distribution Centres in Canada, MMC operates 6 days a week, providing just-in-time distribution of over 6,500 SKUs from more than 300 suppliers. Our Logistics services also include detailed, daily integrated reporting on backorder status, product conversions and potential substitutes on 88% of stocked items to help ensure continuity of care.
“We're proud to welcome Guelph General Hospital to our growing Logistics services,” said Peter Longo, Chief Operating Officer at MMC. “We’re looking forward to working together to strengthen health care supply chain solutions across the region.”
