Off-Contract Spend

We Are Mission Driven

We believe a resilient supply chain contributes to a healthier world. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.8, we measure our success by how effectively our technology helps ensure access to safe, reliable, and cost-effective medical supplies.

At its core, Cato’s mission is to ensure dependable access to the supplies required for continuous care delivery. We are broadening sourcing options to help providers maintain continuity in volatile markets and focus their resources where they matter most: the patient.

Every procedure, diagnosis, and intervention depends on having the right materials available at the right time. When providers have dependable access to critical and everyday consumables, patient care becomes safer, faster, and more consistent.

We are also proudly committed to strengthening access to supplies for rural hospitals, acute care systems, and underserved providers facing systemic operational vulnerabilities, such as limited supplier options, tighter budgets, and less margin for disruption, which make stability essential. Expanding access and optionality in procurement can help stabilize struggling health systems, illustrating how supply chain efficiency is a path toward healthcare equity.

The world that future generations deserve depends on robust health systems operating fluidly behind the scenes. We are building the supply chain infrastructure needed to make this happen.
