Franklin-based healthcare entrepreneur Hays Waldrop - founder of the Institute of Healthcare Executives and Suppliers, Council of Supply Chain Executives and Council of Pharmacy Executives and Suppliers - is launching a new national network for healthcare founders and CEOs of companies that sell products, services and solutions to hospitals and healthcare systems.

Those selected will meet eight times a year, with one in-person meeting, to share ideas and best practices across the many operational areas critical to running and growing a healthcare company. A unique peer advisory group specific to the healthcare industry, the network provides a place for execs to discuss operational challenges in a moderated discussion with Hays and other industry experts.
