UC Davis Health reported nearly $62 million in spending with small and diverse-owned suppliers in fiscal year 2023, an increase of 23% from the previous year. This represents significant progress toward the health system’s commitment to support local business growth, especially in underserved areas. About 100 suppliers showed up to learn what it takes to sell their goods and services. A diverse supplier is a business that is at least 51% owned and operated by an individual or group that is part of an underrepresented group.
