HPS is member-owned, as well as member-operated. Overall management decisions and policies are made by the HPS Board of Managers representing leaders of our non-profit members. In addition, all contract decisions, including recommendations for bidding and negotiations and contract awards, are made by five different advisory committees made up of members. At HPS, your peers are working for you.

The committee network, representing professionals from all areas within HPS member facilities, takes a proactive role in holding down inflation within the HPS portfolio of contracts. Peers representing health care material managers, food service administrators, engineers and maintenance supervisors, laboratory managers, pharmacists and school officials make contract decisions based on what is best for the entire HPS membership. Committees remain cognizant of areas for contract development and enhancements and are aware of the changes and procurement challenges facing each HPS member facility. The HPS committees recognize new areas for contract development and provide valuable input, expertise and decision making.
