CHICAGO, May 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Supply Clinic, the online marketplace for dental supplies, announced the appointment of John Strong, founding president and CEO of Consorta, Inc. and past Senior VP of Premier, Inc., to its Advisory Board. Throughout his 40-year career, Mr. Strong has led a number of healthcare supply chain companies to positions of industry leadership.
"We're incredibly excited to have John as part of our team. His leadership in the healthcare supply chain space is critical to our efforts to disrupt and improve upon dental supply distribution," said Jacob Drucker, CEO of Supply Clinic.

"The technology employed by Supply Clinic is certainly disruptive to traditional group purchasing models and can be applied across other segments of the healthcare supply chain."
