AHVAP CVAHP Member Spotlight

Joanne Sullivan, BSA, CVAHP, is the National Accounts Manager for Nutricia North America for GPO & Health Systems. She serves as a liaison between Nutricia and customers, providing medical education, product information, contract facilitation, distributor alignment, and resolution of customer service challenges.

Why did you get CVAHP certified? “As a supplier, my role is to serve as a valued partner optimizing patient care by addressing cost, quality and outcomes. Achieving my certification provided the opportunity to better serve my healthcare communities by focusing on value analysis principles and avoiding the “fluff.” Within my own organization, I use this expertise to educate both our clinical and sales organization as to what information and resources will have meaningful impact.”

How do you decompress? I absolutely love cooking for others. If you come to Raleigh, North Carolina, I will want to feed you. Travelling to “cool as in temperature” places is a favorite “to-do.” Ireland, Quebec, Maine, North California, Seattle, etc., are some of my favorite spots.
