Podcast 99 – Out of Isolation – Winning Strategies for Forgotten Healthcare Supply Chain Leaders

This podcast got its start when an industry colleague introduced me to Mark Litton to talk about his unique approach to working with rural and smaller hospitals. Mark is CEO of Howard Medical Company and founder of the Independent Link Coalition, an AHRMM-backed peer network for supply chain leaders at independent hospitals. His passion for his work with hospitals, his distribution company, and his association impressed me right away, so I invited him to write for Healthcare Value Analysis and Utilization Management Magazine. The result was an outstanding article in our May 2026 issue — so engaging that I asked Circe Calvin, CEO of Insights Consulting, to join me in interviewing Mark on the Healthcare Supply Chain Best Practices Podcast so listeners could learn more about him and the organizations he represents. Mark does not disappoint!
