PROVIDENCE, R.I., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Amerinet announced it has added positions and personnel to double its team in upstate New York. This investment will provide its health care members with access to the people and critical thinking they need to improve margins and the quality of care they provide to patients. The group will work with Amerinet members on a day-to-day basis to increase access to market leading suppliers that reduce costs and increase efficiencies. They are also supported by a team of clinical and industry experts providing additional consultative services including supply chain management, data management and analysis, high dollar implant cost reduction and capital equipment and construction planning.
“In today’s changing health care environment, we must be able to provide our health care partners with the resources who can help them address their unique needs,” said Gerald C. McClure, CEO of Amerinet Vector. “We believe the restructuring and additions to our team that is focused on upstate New York make good business sense for us and our partners.”
Amerinet’s New York team will be led by Fredrick C. Sears, a 12-year company veteran. Mr. Sears has been named district manager to oversee the company’s business and sales activities for all of Amerinet’s 825 member health care organizations in the Empire State. He previously served as a strategic account manager.
Michael Stock, with Amerinet since 1999, has been promoted to area manager.
Susan Ensminger, an Amerinet veteran with more than 27 years of health care sales and management experience, has been named member account manager to work in conjunction with Mr. Stock.
Three new client-focused resources have also been added to the team: - Robert Rosenberg, region manager - William Cain, region manager - Phyllis Werth, account manager, non-acute care
Two additional staff members round out the New York State team, serving members in the metro area:
Richard Stein, winner of Amerinet’s Sales Manager of the Year award for 2004, serves as area manager. His extensive experience in hospital administration, group purchasing and pharmacy enables him to align with the perspective of members to help them improve their operating margins.
Catherine Schulte-Hamilton works from the Providence, R.I. office as account manager, non-acute care.
