A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

After many years of serving on the NCAHRMM board, I am honored to step into the role of President and wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts on the path ahead.

First and foremost, I want to express my deep gratitude to the leaders who came before me. Your dedication and vision have shaped NCAHRMM into the thriving, respected organization it is today. I hope to honor that legacy by continuing to move us forward into the future of healthcare supply chain excellence.

It has been a privilege to work alongside so many talented and knowledgeable professionals throughout my time with NCAHRMM. I bring to this role over 40 years of experience in sourcing and supply chain management, with a background spanning sourcing, materials management, and operations. After retiring from Duke Hospital, I currently serve as Director of Supply Operations at OmniChannel Health.

Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed the remarkable transformation of procurement and supply chain systems — from typing purchase orders on carbon paper to executing transactions via email and advanced digital platforms. I’ve managed complex product portfolios across cardiac cath, EP, interventional radiology, and GI endoscopy, and I’m grateful for the many opportunities I’ve had to grow in leadership and responsibility. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to build on the incredible momentum we’ve created together. With the support of our talented and dedicated board, I’m committed to helping NCAHRMM continue to grow and thrive — expanding opportunities for connection, education, and professional development across our community.

I’m continually inspired by the innovation, expertise, and passion each of you brings. It’s clear we’re more than just a network — we’re a true community, united by our commitment to learning, leading, and supporting one another in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape.

I’m truly excited about what we’ll achieve together in the months and years ahead. Thank you for your continued support — I look forward to working with all of you as we reach new heights, together.

Warm regards,

Helen Brann President,

NCAHRMM
