WellLink has three interconnected divisions:
WellLink Group Purchasing is committed to supporting the economic well-being of organizations by connecting cost-effective, high-quality goods and services to a wide range of industries.
WellLink Health Alliance is dedicated to fostering physical, mental, and emotional well-being through advocacy, education, and community impact initiatives.
WellLink Innovations will push the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare solutions to help organizations in healthcare and beyond to strengthen and advance their businesses in a competitive, rapidly evolving environment.
Each division has a distinct focus, but they share resources, expertise, and relationships to create powerful, connected solutions.
CHAMPS Group Purchasing, The Center for Health Affairs and The Essentials Group have united under the WellLink brand family, bringing their history, expertise, and trusted relationships together to create a stronger, more connected platform for advancing health and total well-being. Our work has grown far beyond the scope of our legacy brands, and we need a name that reflects who we are today — a connector of people, organizations, and ideas working to improve health and well-being in many forms.

No. We’re still the same team, under the same leadership. And our affiliation to our nonprofit parent organization, formerly known as The Center for Health Affairs, dates back to our founding. The decision to launch a new brand was a long time in the making, and one that our leadership and boards agreed was our best foot forward as one united brand.
A GPO, or group purchasing organization, leverages the purchasing power of its membership by aggregating purchasing volume to negotiate discounts with manufacturers and distributors they use every day.
In the purchasing world, "aggregation" refers to the joining of multiple purchasers through a GPO to increase their buying power.
Premier Inc. is a leading healthcare improvement company, uniting an alliance of more than 3,400 U.S. hospitals and nearly 110,000 other providers to transform healthcare. As an channel partner of Premier, WellLink sponsors members from both health and non-health industries, allowing them access to more than 4,000 GPO contracts, $60+ billion in purchasing volume, GPO contract management and unparalleled customer service.
WellLink serves 28,000+ member locations across the United States. At WellLink GPO, our expertise goes beyond healthcare group purchasing by servicing other industries including business, education, recreation, hospitality, public sector and more.
Our roots go back more than a century through The Center for Health Affairs, which formed in 1914. Over time, our work has expanded and evolved — but our commitment to community has never wavered.
