Discover Opportunities with Mass General Brigham

The Impact Purchase Program at Mass General Brigham was created to build stronger connections between their health system and the local businesses that support the communities they serve. Their goal is to make it easier for local and small businesses to connect with them and understand how to become part of their supply chain. Mass General Brigham knows that navigating large institutions can be challenging, and they are here to make that process easier.

This event is a chance to introduce who they are, why local sourcing matters, and the reason you are all here: How to do business with MGB! They walk through what they purchase, how their processes work, and what they’re doing to open the door to more vendors who reflect the communities they serve.

Pacesetters Doing Business events are an opportunity for small businesses to hear directly from procurement officers at participating Pacesetters companies and learn about their procurement practices initiatives. Our Pacesetters are committed to working with MA-based small local businesses, and our virtual series serves as an informational session to help you get started.

The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce encourages persons with disabilities to participate, and engage fully, in its programs and events. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation, including but not limited to, listening devices, closed captioning, large print, wheelchair access, allergies and environmental sensitivities, or if you have any questions about the venue, event format, or virtual platform, please contact us.
