Who We Are

Who We Are

ROi (Resource Optimization & Innovation) is widely considered the most advanced and integrated provider-owned supply chain organization in health care. Our co-workers lead an innovative business model that integrates supply chain functions traditionally performed by commercial distributors, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), manufacturers and consultants. We were founded by Mercy in 2002, the nation's 8th largest Catholic health care system, and serve multiple customers who share our passion for supply chain excellence.

For nearly a decade, ROi's supply chain model has helped align the interests of health care stakeholders to drive greater efficiencies, reduce costs, ensure engaged and productive caregivers, and deliver safe patient outcomes.

In keeping with our heritage, which is deeply rooted in service and stewardship, ROi partners with health care providers who share our values, providing a single-source, fully integrated supply chain solution through services including group contracting, clinical and operational consulting, pharmaceutical repackaging, custom procedure tray manufacturing, print operations, purchasing and master item file management, and distribution and transportation management .

ROi has offices in St. Louis, MO, and a 100,000-square-foot Consolidated Services Center in Springfield, MO with a Central Distribution Center in Earth City, MO.
