Mr. Colaguori leads a team of 280 supply chain professionals across BayCare’s 16 hospitals and more than 200 access points in West Central Florida, applying an approach that treats supply chain as an integrated partner in care delivery rather than a purely transactional function. He led BayCare’s transition to a new 250,000-square-foot consolidated service center, a move that drove a 103% increase in self-distribution sales to $442 million in 2025 while maintaining a 99.3% fill rate. Mr. Colaguori also supported the implementation of robotics within the distribution center, more than doubling pick module productivity, and advanced a direct contracting strategy through the BayCare Purchasing Partners group purchasing organization that grew spend on agreement by 92%. Through enhancements to BayCare’s value analysis program, he and his team generated $74 million in savings over the last five years by focusing on product standardization and appropriate supply utilization. Under his leadership, BayCare has ranked among Fortune‘s “Best Workplaces in Health Care” and received the Healthcare Financial Management Association’s “Financial Stewardship Excellence Award,” among other national recognitions.
