Synergy Healthcare

Synergy HealthCare Alliance, LLC, which operates as Synergy HCA, is a group purchasing organization (GPO) focused on procurement for long-term care providers. Group purchasing organizations pool the buying volume of many facilities to negotiate pricing and terms with suppliers that individual operators would struggle to secure on their own. The company was founded by a group of healthcare operators specializing in sub-acute and long-term care, whose management team had negotiated contracts for products and services in the sector. After several years of helping other healthcare organizations negotiate pricing they describe as better than that of national GPOs and large nursing home chains, the founders formed the company to give other organizations access to its contract portfolio and pricing agreements.

Synergy HCA presents its work as connecting long-term care facilities with products and services aimed at improving their finances and supporting resident care, and it operates a customer portal. Partner offerings it has featured include nurse staffing through Gale Healthcare Solutions, covering full-time, part-time and temporary shifts, and telemedicine from Tapestry Health that provides remote medical coverage. It has also highlighted VirtuSense technology, including bed alarms, remote vital sign monitors and predictive fall prevention tools. This mix shows a purchasing role that extends into staffing, clinical services and safety technology, areas where nursing homes face ongoing cost and workforce pressure.

The company is based at 20 East Sunrise Highway in Valley Stream, New York. Its roots among sub-acute and long-term care operators give it a narrower focus than the large national GPOs, which typically serve hospitals alongside many other care settings.
