Specialty Advancement Network, part of Cencora’s Specialty GPO network, is now the Health Systems Specialty Network (HSSN)
Our purchasing networks offer providers a unified business model for comprehensive access to industry-leading GPO contracts, creating new opportunities for patients in every setting to have unhindered access to the care they need.

We are part of Cencora.

And you are at the center of everything we do.

Cencora brings AmerisourceBergen and all of our companies and services together under one new name. While we are expanding our network of like-minded pharmacists, physicians, caregivers and healthcare continuum, our commitment to supporting your ability to provide patient-centric care has never been more of a focus. It’s business as usual while our full transition unfolds over time.
