BECOME A BUSINESS PARTNER
Business Partners Gain Unparalleled Access
AHF believes healthcare organizations and communities are best served by a foodservice team that is part of a facility’s own staff. We call these organizations “Self-Operated”. Self-operated facilities represent a growing percentage of all food and beverage purchases in the healthcare industry–a market that is valued at approximately $14 billion annually with senior dining encompassing billiongs more. AHF members that supply food, materials, equipment, technology or services to our self-operated members are called Business Partners. At AHF we take our partners very seriously. Our Business Partners are encouraged to serve, network, and even plan and organize AHF’s Annual Conference.
