Vizient Contracted Supplier Services from Sodexo Healthcare
Patient Nutrition (Contract #SV5084)
Patient nutrition is a vital component to a patient’s care. When patients receive a superior dining experience, their overall recovery is positively impacted. Of course, taste, temperature, and variety matter too — factors that are carefully considered in Sodexo’s nutrition offerings.
Retail Dining (Contract #SV5084)
Sodexo’s retail brands and high street brand partnerships include restaurants, coffee shops, fast casual, convenience and vending. We provide an elevated guest and patient experience with more than 60 culinary concepts curated from our proven, nationally supported portfolio.
Environmental Services (Contract #SV5095)
In order for hospitals to provide excellent patient care, staff and patients both need to have confidence that the environment is safe and clean. Sodexo Healthcare offers tailored environmental services (EVS) solutions and programs that help hospitals deliver the best possible patient care and meet operational and compliance requirements.
Infection Prevention (Contract #SV5095)
Protecta® is a fully standardized, end-to-end infection control solution that combines tools and processes, training, technology, and chemicals and disinfectants to reduce hospital-acquired infections. Proven to decrease MRSA by 70% and C. diff infections by 53%, hospitals gain confidence in a cleaner and safer environment.

Patient Transport Services (Contract #SV5095)
Patient and equipment transfers aren’t to be taken lightly. Without proper care and technique, transfers can lead to unsafe conditions, accidents, high replacement costs and even lawsuits. Our Patient Transport Services can help improve throughput, increase efficiency and free your clinical staff to focus on patient care.
Laundry & Linen Management (Contract #SV5095)
Almost 90% of linens in U.S. hospitals aren’t used to their full potential, which can drive up costs. Drive unnecessary costs out of your laundry operations with state-of-the-art technology, proven management techniques, sound training practices and high safety standards from Sodexo.

Sodexo’s Service Response Center seamlessly weaves together management of your support services through shared management, systems and service functions. By streamlining delivery of core services, the Service Response Center helps you avoid delays, decrease risks and improve patient satisfaction.
