• (12:30-1:30pm) Open To All Attendees  

The Healthcare Industry Resilience Collaborative (HIRC) is a non-profit consortium of healthcare providers and suppliers dedicated to building a more resilient, transparent, and sustainable medical supply chain. This interactive session will provide an in-depth look at HIRC’s evolving standards, supplier resiliency badges, and the latest initiatives driving greater visibility and collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem.

• Get the latest updates on industry-leading resiliency standards, badges, and data transparency efforts
• Discover opportunities to engage with HIRC, contribute to its mission, and collaborate with peers committed to strengthening the healthcare supply chain
• Learn how HIRC’s work is shaping supply chain resiliency and what it means for providers and suppliers alike 

Disruption persists in healthcare supply chains not because leaders lack commitment, but because incentives remain misaligned. This keynote examines how measurable, validated resiliency governance can be embedded into sourcing decisions — turning preparedness into a competitive advantage.
