Northfield, Ill., Sept. 8, 2025 – Medline today announced a multi-year Prime Vendor agreement with West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital, based in southwest Louisiana, that it entered into in June of this year.

Through this agreement, the hospital will have access to Medline’s portfolio of medical and surgical supplies, including Medline custom sterile surgical packs to provide clinicians the supplies they need for their surgeries in one pack.

“At West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital, our mission has been to provide quality, compassionate care to the communities we serve,” said Janie D. Frugé, WCCH CEO. “Partnering with Medline allows us to strengthen that commitment by helping our clinicians have consistent access to the right supplies at the right time. By combining Medline’s supply chain expertise and innovative analytics with our dedication to patient-centered care, we are taking an important step forward in advancing healthcare for the people of western Calcasieu and Cameron parishes.”

West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital will be serviced out of Medline’s 1.2 million-square-foot LEED-certified distribution center in Katy, Texas, equipped with AutoStore goods-to-person automation that supports order accuracy and operational efficiency. Additionally, the hospital will have access to Medline’s advanced analytics platforms to help monitor key metrics such as item use, contract compliance, price accuracy and spend by product category.
