Corewell's supply chain strategy centers on AI as it opens a CSC. Aug 26, 2026 Corewell Health is overhauling its supply chain operations as the 21-hospital system gets ready to open a highly automated 300,000 square-foot consolidated service center (CSC) later this year. In advance of opening this facility, Corewell recognizes the need to leverage its strategic supplier relationships to maximize the value of the CSC and ensure efficient supply chain operations. Corewell selected Clarium as an AI-native automation platform to strengthen visibility, responsiveness and resilience across its supply chain operations. Andrea Poulopoulos, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain at Corewell, spoke with Clarium's Gabriel Perna to understand why the organization is investing heavily in supply chain, why they picked Clarium and how she envisions this partnership taking shape. Why Supply Chain Corewell's investment in a CSC and an AI automation platform comes at a critical time for the organization. The February 2022 merger between Beaumont Health and Spectrum Health to form Corewell allowed the health system to take best practices from both organizations and elevate its supply chain team. At the same time, the health system has realized the impact disruptions have on continuity of care, deriving lessons from COVID-19 and beyond. A CSC allows Corewell to continue to grow while managing its supply chain operations uniformly and accurately. Leaders at Corewell will be able to deploy supplies more efficiently while preparing for disruptions, such as weather events or product discontinuations. By leveraging Clarium, Corewell Health can more confidently ensure continuity of care for its patients while reducing costs. Driving incremental cost reduction requires an intricate, complicated and collaborative process across the organization. "At Corewell, we recognize the essential role supply chain plays - not only in ensuring clinicians have the products they need to care for patients, but also in helping reduce expenses across the organization," Poulopoulos said. Why Clarium For the CSC to work effectively, Corewell needs AI to help leaders plan for disruption events. By embedding AI in the workflow of Corewell's supply chain, the health system will be better prepared for product shortages and recalls, while making thoughtful substitutions that don't impact patient care. Clarium's focus on developing a tailored product disruption module will significantly enhance workflow management and streamline the decision-making processes. The company's collaborative approach aligns with Corewell's goals to achieve supply chain efficiency. Working closely with Corewell's clinical team, Poulopoulos envisions digesting and acting on insights from Clarium's AI platform to reduce costs and maintain excellent clinical care during disruption events. "We're building a state-of-the-art facility, and that creates an exciting opportunity to align our technology, processes and ways of working to fully support its potential," Poulopoulos noted.

Summa Health unveils technology transformation stack. Date: 08/19/2026 General Catalyst-backed Aidoc, Clarium, Commure, Fabric, HippocraticAI, Judi Health, Transcarent, and Verse Medical partner with Summa and HATCo to deliver more affordable, accessible, and resilient community-based healthcare, with Percepta serving as a transformation partner to build a seamless operating system. AKRON, OH, AUGUST 19, 2026 - Summa Health and General Catalyst's Health Assurance Transformation Company (HATCo) today announced Summa's technology "stack", unveiling the first companies to partner with the system on its transformation plan. General Catalyst's HATCo acquired Summa Health in October 2025 with the vision of delivering a more proactive, accessible, and affordable system of community-based, lifelong healthcare. These companies are the first to come together to partner with the Akron-based system and work towards delivering on that vision in partnership with Summa Health and GC's HATCo. "Turning Summa Health into a system of care that is proactive, accessible and affordable requires something this industry has never done: the companies building the next generation of healthcare infrastructure working as one, inside a community health system. I'm energized by what that will mean for patient and provider experience and outcomes in Akron and beyond," said Hemant Taneja, CEO of General Catalyst and founder and chairman of HATCo. "A system of true health assurance is made possible through the collaboration of a vibrant ecosystem of visionary tech founders and experienced health system leaders working together to reimagine healthcare." "The first nine months were focused on achieving organizational stability and making targeted investments that support staff and ensure patients continue to receive the highest quality health care", said Daryl Tol, acting president and CEO of Summa Health and CEO of HATCo, which General Catalyst created to transform health systems into resilient, enduring organizations. "Summa is now ready to embrace technology that will enable sustainable transformation and outcomes to serve generations in the decades to come." Summa Health employs approximately 8,000 employees across the system and SummaCare. Aidoc, Clarium, Commure, Fabric, HippocraticAI, Judi Health, Transcarent, and Verse are all backed by General Catalyst, and are working together to connect, support, and empower Summa's patients, providers and staff to improve the health of its communities and serve as a blueprint for broader healthcare transformation in the US and beyond. That includes new technology, resources and support to drive transformation enablement while addressing system fragmentation to make day-to-day operations run more smoothly, and build towards a more connected, seamless patient experience: * Aidoc, a diagnostic AI company focused on helping physicians make earlier, safer diagnoses by turning raw patient signals into actionable insight. * Clarium, an AI-native supply chain intelligence and computer vision platform that optimizes clinical and financial operations. * Commure, an AI platform focused on reducing administrative burden through ambient documentation, coding, and revenue cycle automation. * Fabric, an AI-powered care orchestration and virtual primary care capacity augmentation to optimize consumer access and outcomes. * HippocraticAI, a clinical voice AI-agent platform for patient and member engagement, care coordination, and operational support across providers and payers. * Judi Health, a unified claims infrastructure that streamlines pharmacy, medical, vision, and dental adjudication and benefits administration. * Transcarent, a consumer health and benefits platform that simplifies navigation and access across surgery, pharmacy, and broader care needs. * Verse Medical, a platform to manage durable medical equipment and post-acute care. HATCo is working with Percepta, a GC transformation company, to build the Health System Command Center, which will bring frontier AI into daily hospital operations and unify Summa's technology stack into an intelligent operating system. The platform will orchestrate these solutions across the enterprise to enable AI-native care delivery, efficient operations, and a connected patient experience. Summa Health also recently announced the appointment of Jennifer Eslinger as president and CEO, effective September 2026. Jennifer currently serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of Rochester Regional Health, and brings deep experience driving operational and clinical excellence, embracing innovation, and building high-performing teams.
