Client Testimonials
"EMTS has won us over…we are very satisfied customers. We thought we were doing a good job negotiating equipment purchases - and we were. But EMTS proved to us that they know all the tricks to find the hidden savings. In less than a year, they helped us realize over $31K in hard savings, which is significant to a smaller facility such as ours. I consider EMTS an invaluable member of our capital purchasing team."
Dan Brandt
Director, Materials Management
Estes Park Medical Center
"Cancer Treatment Centers of America Inc. has worked with EMTS since July of 2010. Although we were skeptical of the model initially as we felt we had negotiated very aggressive pricing with our vendors, we have submitted 57 Capital Equipment projects to date and have achieved a realized savings of just over 100k. The team at EMTS is always professional and very responsive to our hospitals and corporate locations. The value EMTS continues to provide to CTCA has exceeded our expectations and we look forward to a long relationship using their services."
Kimberly Alvord
Director of Supply Chain
Cancer Treatment Centers of America
"EMTS has been our strategic sourcing partner for the past two years. They provide a cost effective means to assist our organization in obtaining the best value for our capital dollar. Charlie and his entire staff are customer service focused, professional, flexible, and very responsive to our needs. An additional benefit of our relationship has been the validation of our internal contracting staff’s effectiveness and EMTS is a valued extension of that."
Ann Symonds
Sr. Vice President
MemorialCare Health System
"EMTS has been an excellent partner with CMH for the past several years. They have, with very few exceptions, found savings for us. The information provided by EMTS allows us to make an informed decision on capital purchases. I really appreciate the timely responses from Brandon and Tin."
Eldon Tate
Director of Materials Management
"EMTS is an absolute no brainer; these guys can squeeze blood from a turnip. Although we have had great success with our own negotiations, our corporate office asked that we start using EMTS. We were a bit hesitant over worries they would delay the process without much benefit in return. We were flat out wrong. EMTS not only delivers fantastic results with concrete and clear cost savings they do it in an expedited manner. The staff is professional and courteous and has never jeopardized our established working relationships with our long standing vendors. They truly are one of my best tools for realizing clear and traceable cost savings."
Robert Tancreto
Materials Management, Buyer
Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital
"Our hospital has had a business relationship with EMTS for over two years now, during which time I have enjoyed dealing with Charlie and his staff both professionally and personally. I cannot remember a time when they have not been accommodating in meeting what is often a limited timeline on our end."
"I must admit that I was somewhat apprehensive at first, as the business model is based upon EMTS bouncing the pricing you negotiate against a variety of national data bases for comparison purposes, then re-engaging the supplier if additional savings is available. Materials Management staff naturally feel threatened by this initially. However, once "pride" is set aside, they truly provide a great value in providing savings that would have otherwise been unattainable. It is virtually risk-free. EMTS does not bill any fees unless they are able to negotiate savings above and beyond what you are able to do on you own. Even when the pricing you negotiate is not improved by EMTS, it serves as a great litmus test to gauge you and your staff by on a national basis. In addition, the business model provides hospitals with limited negotiating resources with some much needed leverage to deal with giant manufacturers. I would highly recommend them to anyone!"
Kevin R. Stonner
Materials Manager
North Kansas City Hospital
"I have had the opportunity to work with EMTS on a major new building project this year. I was genuinely surprised at the level of professionalism I encountered. Their Operations staff was informed, helpful, honest and very up front in all of our interactions. I am a skeptic in my soul and they managed to turn me into a believer very quickly. We were able to get the best value for our money plus they negotiated other value added items that I would never have thought to ask for. It really helps to work with the Pros!"
Chris Smiley
Associate Director, Patient Care Services
Citizens Memorial Hospital
"We have been a business partner of EMTS for over four years. During that time, Charles George and his EMTS staff have assisted in the evaluation of equipment purchases ranging from a $1,170 centrifuge to a $ 2,060,000 CT scanner. The resources and expertise of EMTS have produced substantial cost savings on capital equipment purchases. Their prompt professional service, attention to detail, and advocacy for the client are outstanding. We currently enjoy a win-win relationship with EMTS and plan to continue our partnership for years to come."
Mike Thomas
Manager of Support Services
Halifax Regional Health System
"We have struggled in the past to know if the vendor was giving us a fair price. EMTS provides the data and the leverage to help us obtain fair pricing across our vendor base."
Gary Fulbright
CFO
Citizen’s Memorial Hospital
"The services provided by EMTS will enable our members to reduce the total life cycle costs associated with capital equipment purchasing by securing increased acquisition discounts, extended warranties, discounts on service, parts, future upgrades and more"
Mark Miriani
Senior Vice President
MedAssets Materials Management Division
"EMTS has been great to work with. We utilize their Sentry Service on a regular basis. It truly is financially risk free. Their Operations Team have been excellent in their communications and follow-ups concerning our projects. Even when we need projects rushed, they have been very accommodating. Their savings reports are clear, concise and easy to read. Their customer service is top notch as well. I wish all our vendors treated us like EMTS does!"
Gary Shieh

"We chose EMTS as our vendor based upon their proven ability to save our facilities money. The resources and expertise they demonstrated were instrumental in our decision to select them as our vendor of choice. Additionally, their customer service and attentiveness to our needs were second to none. EMTS brings a whole new level of technical knowledge and purchasing skill to our system."
