With a 40-year career spanning higher education, healthcare, high-tech electronics, telecommunications and automotive industries, Mr. Churchman oversees all supply chain functions at Jefferson, an enterprise that includes a healthcare delivery system, a nonprofit health plan, and a major teaching university and medical school serving 8,300 students, 65,000 employees, 77,000 alumni and 360,000 insurance members across 32 hospitals and over 700 sites of care. Under his leadership, Jefferson championed a clinical and non-clinical labor aggregation platform that generated $6 million in economic value over two years, delivered an economic value model worth more than $162 million in 15 months to bring the supply chain’s return on investment to 7.5%, and implemented a contract audit and recovery process that returned $11 million in cash in 10 months. Mr. Churchman also oversaw an automated electronic enterprise payment platform, in partnership with the treasury and accounts payable departments, that generated more than $4.5 million in annualized cash rebates. As Jefferson has grown through acquisitions, he has championed the integration of supply chain operations into a single “One Jefferson Supply Chain” of more than 700 full-time employees. Before joining Jefferson, Mr. Churchman held supply chain leadership roles at Durham, N.C.-based Duke University Health System, Columbia, Md.-based MedStar Health, Ford Motor Company, Sprint, Garmin International, Charlotte, N.C.-based Advocate Health Care and Olathe (Kan.)
