Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) has expanded its strategic partnership with Premier , a technology-enabled healthcare improvement company, to accelerate performance and mission-driven care delivery.

The Springfield, Illinois-based Catholic nonprofit health system selected Premier following a rigorous due diligence process. The expanded agreement aims to strengthen operational stewardship while addressing rising costs, workforce pressures, and care delivery complexity.

Strategic Focus Areas

The partnership integrates Premier’s group purchasing program with data analytics, supply chain solutions, and advisory services. HSHS will leverage these tools to align clinical, operational, and financial priorities across three key domains:

• Supply chain optimization: Centralizing data to connect supply chain, clinical, and financial metrics via an integrated platform.
• Clinical and operational improvement: Reducing variation in care delivery and linking cost initiatives to quality outcomes.
• Financial resiliency: Identifying financial improvement opportunities aligned with measurable value.

Nalin Kulasekara, System Vice President of Ancillary Operations and Supply Chain Management at HSHS, noted the move supports ongoing efforts to serve patients and communities effectively.

Executive Perspective

Dr. Emad Rizk, Premier’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, emphasized the need for partners that execute on aligned strategies connecting operations, finance, and clinical performance. He stated the work enables HSHS teams to operate more quickly and effectively.

Kathy Donovan, Chief Operating Officer at HSHS, expressed confidence that the partnership would create meaningful value for patients, colleagues, and communities.
