CNECT's History
Since 1979, CNECT Group Purchasing has partnered with health centers and businesses to forge lasting relationships built on the concerted effort to reduce operational expenses and free-up funds that would in-turn lead to healthier communities.
For over 40 years, CNECT, formerly Council Connections, has honed in on our relationship building aspect, refined our approach and expanded our reach through partnering with Premier, Inc.

Although we have experienced tremendous growth, we are proud to have maintained our personal approach and unwavering dedication to each and every member, allowing us to stand out as a leader among group purchasing organizations.
