Our Goal

The goal of Public Health Management Corporation’s (PHMC) Supplier Diversity program is to promote and increase business opportunities for minority, women, LGBTQ+ and veteran-owned and/or small business enterprises. We believe in establishing and strengthening ties with the communities where we live and work by creating mutually beneficial business relationships that lead to the growth of diverse businesses across our region.

Inclusion and Commitment

We encourage the growth of diverse businesses and are committed to addressing barriers these businesses face. Such businesses include:

• Small Disadvantaged Business
• Minority Business Enterprises

• Veteran and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises

More specifically, our program aims to include companies that are at least 51% owned and operated by one or more of:

• African Americans

and/or that qualify as a:

• Women Business Enterprise
• Disabled Business Enterprise
• LGBTQ+ Business Enterprise
