Mohawk Medbuy Corporation (MMC) is pleased to welcome Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital to our industry-leading Pharmacy Services program. The paediatric health sciences centre is part of the growing transition to MMC’s not-for-profit, shared services model that continues to deliver tremendous value and resilience across Canada’s health care supply chain.
MMC provides procurement support for many of Ontario’s children’s hospitals and paediatric centres, and Holland Bloorview has been utilizing MMC’s sourcing solutions for medical/surgical products, capital equipment and logistics for several years. With this announcement, Holland Bloorview’s Pharmacy will now also benefit from the value, innovation and data-driven insights MMC provides.
“We’re excited to work alongside Holland Bloorview as their Pharmacy partner,” said Ally Dhalla, MMC’s Senior Vice President, Pharmacy and Clinical Services and Innovation. “Mohawk Medbuy’s Pharmacy program offers the comprehensive support, clinical expertise and advanced analytics needed in the paediatric health care environment. Deepening our relationship with Holland Bloorview allows MMC to further support the transformative care they provide for patients and their families.”
As the Pharmacy partner of choice for many children’s hospitals, MMC offers a unique continuum of support that’s tailored to paediatric pharmacies. MMC’s large-scale contracts consolidate Members’ collective need for child-format products – driving value and strengthening the province’s supply of essential paediatric drugs. Additionally, MMC’s MitigAID program helps hospital pharmacies minimize risk to patients and reduce staff workload during manufacturer supply disruptions (learn more about MitigAID here).
MMC also curates opportunities for Canadian paediatric pharmacy professionals to connect with and support each other. “By resourcing our collective expertise, we can help drive excellence in this practice area and optimize care for paediatric patients,” said Ally.
“We know our Pharmacy is in good hands with Mohawk Medbuy,” said Nathan Ho, Director Pharmacy Services, Holland Bloorview. “Our Pharmacy professionals work closely with clients, families and health care teams to optimize medication therapies and support the complex needs of the children and youth we serve. MMC’s innovative, end-to-end solutions will contribute to this high level of care and help us drive safe and effective outcomes for our young patients .”
