The Ottawa Hospital Transitioning to Mohawk Medbuy’s Comprehensive Pharmacy Program
Mohawk Medbuy Corporation (MMC) is pleased to announce that The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) is transitioning to our industry-leading Pharmacy Services program. TOH will benefit from the comprehensive value of MMC’s Pharmacy Services and our not-for-profit, shared services model that continues to attract public sector organizations across Canada.
TOH has leveraged MMC’s sourcing solutions for medical/surgical supplies for several years. Expanding this partnership to TOH’s pharmacies is the natural next step in MMC and TOH’s collaboration to strengthen the health care supply chain in Eastern Ontario.
“We’re excited to deepen our relationship with The Ottawa Hospital,” said Ally Dhalla, MMC’s Senior Vice President, Pharmacy and Clinical Services and Innovation. “MMC’s Pharmacy solutions offer vital, end-to-end support that’s backed by our advanced analytics and deep understanding of the hospital environment. We’re uniquely positioned to strengthen the pharmaceutical supply chain in the region and support exceptional patient care at TOH.”
Hospital pharmacies are crucial partners in the patient’s circle of care, and MMC provides a comprehensive contract portfolio along with vital support for pharmacy staff. One example is MMC’s MitigAID program, which helps hospital pharmacies minimize the risk to patients and reduce the workload of staff when navigating manufacturer supply disruptions.
“Growing our long-term relationship with MMC brings incredible value to our hospital’s pharmacies,” said Tracey Dennis, Executive Director, Supply Chain and Chief Procurement Officer, TOH. “The Ottawa Hospital is committed to providing every one of our patients with world-class, compassionate care. Our partnership with MMC is crucial to building the resilient supply chain we need to deliver on this commitment.”
