Each summer Parallon Workforce Solutions hosts a summer internship program, welcoming the children of Parallon team members who are currently college students. The students are introduced to the world of healthcare and learn about the dynamics involved in putting the healthcare workforce to work each day. 

HealthTrust, an affiliate of Parallon, was selected by AllSpire Health GPO, LLC (AllSpire), a new regional group purchasing organization (GPO), to be its exclusive national GPO and support the development of a regional contract portfolio for categories where local market dynamics drive optimal value and service. Under terms of the agreement, each of the six health systems that own AllSpire will be HealthTrust members and fully utilize its committed portfolio. HealthTrust will further lead the development of the AllSpire custom portfolio for medical devices and purchased services.

As we head into the holiday weekend, Parallon Workforce Solutions would like to wish you all the best for a great holiday and a Happy Independence Day!
