Testimonials

"The Shared Resources Purchasing Network has not only saved us money but, because our staff can also participate, it allows us to extend this discount opportunity to our employees."

- Charlie Hooker, Keystone Human Services, Harrisburg, PA

Here's what Aflac for ANCOR customers have to say:

"Almost one-third of my 700 employees signed on to various AFLAC plans. The demographics of the purchases cuts right a cross our agency – from new staff to long term staff from hourly to salary folks ….And we ended up saving $7,000 in payroll taxes to boot…more than our dues are to ANCOR. This is a real win-win scenario that saves real dollars in  these tough times. Yes, the duck has made me a believer!  Thank you SRPN (Shared Resources Purchasing Network)"

- Peter Kowalski, CEO, John F. Murphy Homes, Inc.

Here's what Philadelphia Insurance customers have to say:

"EPI has had a long business relationship [over 20 years] with Philadelphia Insurance as our provider of professional liability, directors and officers, and umbrella coverage.  We appreciated the fact that they maintained a focus on human service organizations allowing them to understand our business, and that they were very competitive from a rate standpoint as we put the coverage out for bids every five years.  The coverage was one of those things that we paid for but never really thought about needing.  This changed a couple of years ago when we were faced with a very unpleasant claim.  An adjuster was assigned to our case, and she was engaging, empathetic, and supportive.  Her knowledge and investment allowed the claim to be successfully resolved.  I would unreservedly recommend Philadelphia Insurance.  They have a number of assets including a specialization in human service coverage, a website property liability tool, and ongoing education like a recent webinar on Cyber liability.  With the risks involved in service delivery we really need an insurance carrier that will partner with us in mitigating and covering exposure and Philadelphia has proven to be such a partner for us."

- Chris Sparks, Executive Director, Exceptional Persons, Inc.

Here's what Furniture Concepts users have to say:

When OHI began refitting a house originally designed to serve children to one capable of supporting adults with complex medical needs we knew we needed new furniture.  We turned to ANCOR’s SRPN Program for a company to help us. We found that Furniture Concepts has everything from office supply cabinets, to couches, tables and chairs for living areas.  We even ordered all our mattresses through them. Sharon Adams, Furniture Concepts’ sales rep, understood OHI’s need to have our refitted facility look and feel like a home, not an institution. Their products have allowed our DSPs to focus on supporting the people living in the home, rather than cleaning and maintaining the home and furnishings.  To me, that is what good design is all about. 

- Margaret Longsworth, CRC, LADC, LCPC, Director of Clinical Services, OHI

Here's what P-Card users have to say:

"Keystone now has access to real time purchasing information, online coding and flexible reporting of activity. We have this for no fees to the company. Instead, we receive an annual rebate of about $10,000 for using the card."

- Chuck Sweeder, Controller, Keystone Human Services

"The P-Card program has become an integral part of everyday operation at ResCare. They have become an instrumental part of reducing liability by replacing petty cash maintained in the field. P-Cards are also an important budget tool, allowing us to set limits that correspond to the budget set for each location, monitor expenses and view timely reports on spending activity. Most importantly, P-Cards ensure we have money available for emergencies and daily activities important to employees and the people we support."

- Coy Lightfoot, Director of Purchasing, ResCare 

"Through ANCOR's SRPN Program, The St. Louis ARC charges everything on the US Bank P-Card from basic office items to medical supplies to furniture and more. We know that by using the card in that manner, we'll be able to reach the spend necessary to qualify for a rebate. It was great getting a rebate check for over $7,500 and putting it towards a badly needed new program!"

- Kathy Meath, CEO, St. Louis ARC

Here's what Medline customers have to say:

“Thanks to the discounts we received from Medline, we were able to renew our ANCOR membership. In this time of economic crises and funding challenges, Medline has proven to be an effective partner in helping us realize savings.”

- Carol Lee, Executive Director, Harry Meyering Center, Inc.

“After meeting with our local Medline representative, it appears we will save between 50% to 60% on many of our medical supplies and durable equipment. What a great benefit to ANCOR members.”

- Marsha Colegrove, Regional Director, Danville Services of Utah, LLC 

Here's what Office Max customers have to say:

“I have to say their customer service is great. I have not had any issues with customer service … and they were friendly and very responsive to my needs. Coming from a customer service background I would say they are one of the top ranked customer service staff that I am willing to deal with.”

- Barbara Barry, Administrative Secretary, Dungarvin

"I placed an order myself yesterday for supplies shipped to my home (I work from home 4 days/week).  The order arrived by 1:00 pm CT today – timely shipping.  Unfortunately I ordered the incorrect product – I ordered legal file folders rather than letter size.  I logged onto officemaxsolutions.com and initiated a chat session with customer service.  Within minutes I received a credit memo via email.  I asked what they’d like me to do with the product I received (which I ordered incorrectly) and they suggested I donate it to a non-profit organization."

- Randee Lang, Dungarvin

Here's what Sears customers have to say:

"Heritage Christian Services opened two new group homes in January of 2010.  We were very pleased to be able to use the Shared Resources Purchasing Network partnership with SEARS.  It took one phone call to set up the user account with the SEARS staff and we were able to purchase all of the appliances and bedding needed to open these two homes.  The order was delivered promptly within 3 days and the pricing is below the best sale price offered on these products throughout the year."

- Dan Stewart, Heritage Christian Services
