The Vendor-Vetting Process
As a for-profit subsidiary of AzHHA, the Affiliated Partners Program is governed by its own board of directors that reports to the AzHHA board. Directors are hospital executives or community volunteers with healthcare executive experience. They are selected as member representatives who contribute to the vetting of vendors and ultimately affirm their endorsement.
To become an affiliated partner, vendors must submit a written application, after which they undergo rigorous scrutiny, including reference checks, to ensure that their services align with member needs and meet quality standards. The process culminates with the board formally approving the vendor’s partnership status.
