About Us
The Healthcare Industry Resilience Collaborative (HIRC) is a member-led, non-profit advancing resiliency, transparency, and partnership across the healthcare supply chain through common standards and industry collaboration.
HIRC transforms industry collaboration into trusted information, sourcing-ready signals, practical implementation, and aligned decision-making that strengthen supply assurance and protect continuity of patient care.
By combining standards, credentials, secure data sharing, and industry partnerships, HIRC helps providers, suppliers, and partners operate from a common foundation that reduces fragmentation, accelerates adoption, and turns resiliency into an operational capability.
