Culture at Premier

Today, we're celebrating National Intern Day and giving a huge shoutout of appreciation to our 23 interns! Over a twelve-week period, our interns become contributing members of the team by working on meaningful projects that provide an opportunity to build their resume and have measurable success on key deliverables. In addition to exposure within their department, students have access to ongoing education sessions and community and social events to learn more about Premier Inc. and the healthcare industry. Thank you to every individual who is bringing a valuable perspective and contributing insights across our company this summer! #NationalInternDay

Every month is a chance to give back. Premier Inc.'s Giving Goodwill Initiative reflects our commitment to embracing social responsibility in everything we do. The program’s framework offers employees a variety of opportunities that encourage teams to volunteer together, donate to those in need and make a real difference in the communities they live in. July's Giving Goodwill is in support of CancerCare, an organization providing free services and information to help patients navigate and manage the challenges of cancer. Premier employees can check the HR Portal for more information on how to get involved. ⭐️ Learn more about Premier's corporate social responsibility efforts: https://lnkd.in/gTZGc6NN
