Welcome to The Bellevue Hospital.
Your time and ours is extremely valuable. To aid
sales representatives in every possible way, we have
outlined some of the basic information for sales
personnel calling at the hospital. We hope this
information will make your job easier, increase our
efficiency, and result in better service for our
patients.
Policies and Responsibilities
The Bellevue Hospital operates on a Centralized
Purchasing plan. It is our responsibility to
purchase all of the equipment and supplies necessary
to operate the hospital. The only exception is the
purchase of food and pharmaceuticals. Vendors will
be required to participate in our Vendor
Credentialing Program if applicable.

Friday. You can help us by making your visits
between 9:30 a.m. and noon or/and 3:30 p.m. This
gives us an opportunity to contact our various
departments for you and conclude the day’s business
in your behalf. We will appreciate your courtesy in
this regard.
