At Vanguard, they serve as the bridge between non-profit health systems and the strengths of a for-profit corporation.  In providing that bridge, they view their health systems as partners, and with partnership comes opportunity.  They offer their partners a broad spectrum of experience, from operations, contracting and finance to purchasing, human resources and community relations.

Sensitive to a hospital's specific needs, they collaborate with the existing staff, remain dedicated to the community and invest in the hospital by providing resources and technology that improve the overall care patients receive. Furthermore, they respect the hospital's autonomy and firmly believe in maintaining local authority.  This serves their partners well.  It serves Vanguard well.  Most importantly, though, it serves patients well.
