SMI is a community of healthcare providers, suppliers, distributors and disruptors collaborating to drive supply chain agility, efficiency, and resilience.

As we reflect back over this past year of change and acceptance, we've had to learn to live and work differently. We've connected in new ways and successfully navigated challenges we thought were not possible.  As we begin to move forward from this crisis, we look towards the future with hope and determination to not forget but realize we can overcome.
