The partnership has resulted in significant product and equipment savings without compromising quality across all service lines. Our relationship with Avera PACE goes beyond purchasing power as it includes fostering our commitment to quality care and service delivery at Bethany.

Avera PACE provides us with incredible support and insight into vetted vendors with competitive pricing that does not compromise quality. If you value a partner that you can trust and will answer your questions in a timely manner and provide valuable feedback, then Avera PACE is the way to go.

Jon Barr, Corporate Dining Director, Dial Senior Living, Omaha, NE

Their service and recommendations have allowed us to build standardized product and service lists across all our communities, making operations and supervision easier while seeing savings at the same time. In the past, our communities were left to purchase air filters, housekeeping disposable products and cleaning chemicals on their own. Working with Avera PACE, we were able to standardize the purchase of these products and see savings across the board.
