“The buying collective saved independent doctors in our communities from closing their doors ⎯ when patients needed them most.”

Delivering vital PPE and medical supplies to independent physicians
overlooked by traditional channels
Doctor-led Collective
When COVID-19 struck, doctors unaffiliated with large health systems and hospitals faced unprecedented PPE shortages – with solo practices and small offices particularly hard hit. Their choice was clear: risk personal, staff and patient safety or close their doors. Both unacceptable.
Action in Crisis
Believing strongly that those involved in a problem need to find solutions, Dr. Marcelo Hochman, cosmetic surgeon in private practice and president of the Charleston County Medical Society (CCMS) took action. He and a handful of colleagues leveraged their connections to locate the necessary supplies. CCMS founded ActionPPE in March 2020.
Local to Nationwide
What started as a local effort to help doctors get essential PPE to treat patients and protect themselves has evolved into a nationwide buying collective made possible through decades-long relationships with suppliers, such as Honeywell, and collaborations with medical associations across the country.
Partnering State by State
The momentum was just beginning. Leveraging long-standing peer relationships, ActionPPE connected with medical societies in other states, beginning with Arizona, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Additional protective items were added to the website. Today, the ActionPPE group buying collective works with medical, dental, and other healthcare associations in over 40 states.
