Gossett Leadership Award by the Association for Health Care Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM) during the opening ceremony of this week's AHRMM Annual Conference & Exhibition.

This award highlights Donatelli's 40+years of experience and continued contributions and commitment to advancing healthcare supply chain excellence and patient care.
"I am honored to receive the George R. Gossett Leadership Award," said Donatelli. "As a registered nurse, it has always been my goal to provide patients with the best possible care. During my career I've advised some of the largest health systems in the U.S. to ensure they have a clinically integrated supply chain to minimize costs while improving patient outcomes."
This achievement marks Donatelli's third prestigious award in the field of supply chain management in the last several years.
