Advice for Advisors:
Building Trust in Healthcare
Supply Chains
Originally published by Power Supply: The Supply Chain Podcast.
What if the biggest barrier to healthcare savings isn’t finding the opportunities—it’s getting anyone to trust they’ll actually work?
On this episode of Power Supply, we welcome back Mark Van Sumeren, Board Observer and Chair, Healthcare and Life Sciences at LogicSource and Managing Director at Health Industry Advisor LLC, to explore what advisors can do to establish and improve trust within the healthcare supply chain.
Drawing from his recent article, Mark explains why a $50 million donation makes headlines while $50 million in savings goes unnoticed— and what that says about how trust is earned, lost, and rebuilt in healthcare. Whether you’re navigating hospital resistance or striving to build stronger partnerships, this conversation delivers the wisdom you need to break through and drive lasting change!
