Institute of Healthcare Executives and Suppliers

Institute of Healthcare Executives and Suppliers (IHES) is a private healthcare networking and events business that organizes invitation-only meetings between senior health system leaders and innovative supplier companies. Founded in 2003, the company focuses on curated executive forums spanning hospital C-suite leadership, supply chain, and pharmacy through its IHES, CSCE, and CPES councils. Its business model centers on corporate memberships, meeting sponsorships, executive participation, and research/advisory services rather than drug development or therapeutic products. IHES also produces industry research based on healthcare executive and supplier discussions, positioning itself as a relationship-driven market access and insight platform for companies selling into health systems.
