Delray Medical Center honored Lourdes Black, pharmacy buyer, by inducting her into the Tenet Heroes Hall of Fame, Tenet Healthcare Corporation’s highest honor for employees.
Black led the development of a supply chain strategy that saved Tenet’s Miami Dade market $4 million in 2016. The project helped streamline the pharmacy supply chain, control costs and lessen the impact of drug shortages on patient care. Her process is scheduled for companywide rollout soon.
She also organizes departmental food and clothing drives to help less fortunate colleagues and community members. In addition, Black assisted a colleague by organizing, decorating and paying for her wedding. The wedding would not have been financially or physically possible without Black’s support.
