Ms. Fried has led Hartford Healthcare’s supply chain operations since 1988, delivering sustained cost savings and operational improvements that directly enhance patient care. Her innovative strategies are often shared through industry webinars on clinical care redesign and supply chain best practices. In 2022, she coordinated the delivery of $250,000 in essential medical supplies, including N95 masks, gowns, gloves and other protective equipment, all supporting providers and communities affected by the war in Ukraine. This humanitarian effort earned recognition from The Hartford Courant and WFSB-TV for its impact and scope. Hartford Healthcare has been named one of Fortune‘s “America’s Most Innovative Companies” in 2023, thanks in part to Ms. Fried’s creative supply chain management approach.
