North York General Transitions to MMC’s Pharmacy Services
Mohawk Medbuy (MMC) is pleased to announce that North York General (NYG) is transitioning to MMC’s Pharmacy Services, expanding its engagement with MMC’s shared services offerings. NYG already utilizes MMC’s Strategic Sourcing, Capital Equipment and Member IT Services. MMC’s not-for-profit, shared services model supports hundreds of Canadian health care organizations with data-driven value and evidence-based insight across the health care supply chain.
Serving a population of over 500,000 in north central Toronto and southern York Region, NYG is Canada’s leading community academic hospital with a vision to deliver World-Class Care, 24/7.
“NYG has a culture of continuous improvement – and MMC’s digital tools, volume-based value and supply disruption support align with our priorities,” said Rudy Dahdal, Executive Vice President, Clinical Programs and Chief Planning & Redevelopment Officer at NYG. “We see this transition as an opportunity to strengthen our supply chain performance and enhance the reliability of critical pharmacy services.”
In addition to the financial advantages of MMC’s shared services model, NYG will benefit from MMC’s industry-leading MitigAID supply disruption risk management platform, along with advanced analytics and AI-powered tools designed to help reduce the risk of drug shortages in patient care. MMC’s Pharmacy Services team also collaborates closely with Members to support access to a diverse formulary, while providing consultative guidance on an increasingly complex pharmaceutical supply environment.
“We’re proud to welcome NYG to MMC’s Pharmacy Services,” said Ally Dhalla, Senior Vice President, Pharmacy, Government and Clinical Services. “Building on our established relationship and shared commitment to innovation, we look forward to contributing to its delivery of world-class patient care.”
