Strategic Business Development

At Highmark Health and our portfolio of businesses and affiliates, the mission is to create remarkable health experiences, freeing people to be their best. We work to create mutually beneficial relationships with a wide variety of suppliers that serve the communities in which our patients, customers, and partners live, learn and work. In so doing we strive to achieve fulfillment of our product and service needs by utilizing a robust and varied supply chain which allows us to deliver world class care.

Highmark Health is committed to building relationships with businesses in the communities we serve. We work to consistently increase the utilization of small and disadvantaged businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration. We are equally committed to fair and open competition that neither discriminates nor unfairly advantages any supplier. We promote a process in which every qualified business can participate.

Our Strategic Business Development team helps ensures that we:

  • Match qualified vendors and providers with the needs of our business.
  • Build long-term business relationships with people in all communities we serve.
  • Create mutually beneficial business opportunities for small and disadvantaged firms.
  • Be more competitive in an inclusive marketplace.

Opportunities span a range of industries and services, including construction, computer hardware and software, office supplies, printing, professional services, and promotional products and more. We also work with Supplier Gateway (a certified small business) to expand our supplier pool and build partnerships. We are dedicated to fair and open competition in sourcing.
