Valify Named Finalist in D CEO’s 2026 Excellence in Healthcare Awards

Recognition highlights Valify's continued innovation in helping health systems manage their purchased services programs

FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Valify, the leading purchased services technology platform for healthcare, has been named a finalist for Achievement in Innovation in D CEO’s 2026 Excellence in Healthcare Awards. This year's finalists were selected from a competitive pool of over 200 nominations across the North Texas healthcare community.

The recognition follows a period of significant growth and product innovation for Valify, as the company expanded its platform with AI capabilities to help hospitals and health systems more quickly identify, prioritize and act on savings opportunities across purchased services.

Purchased services remain one of the most overlooked opportunities for cost optimization in healthcare. Valify combines comprehensive spend data, benchmarking, sourcing expertise and execution support to help hospitals and health systems identify and capture 10-30% savings on average across under-managed categories.

“We’re honored to be recognized by D CEO alongside so many healthcare leaders across North Texas,” said Les Popiolek, CEO of Valify. “Health systems are under significant pressure to reduce costs, but purchased services remain an often-overlooked source of savings. We continue to enhance our technology to help health systems uncover opportunities and translate them into tangible outcomes.”

As the only healthcare purchased services company that collects data from members of every major group purchasing organization (GPO), the company provides a broader view of the market to uncover pricing variability, strengthen benchmarking, and give health systems greater confidence in savings decisions. Valify's platform is powered by more than $1.3 trillion in spend data, normalized across a proprietary schema of over 1,400 categories.

Over the past year, Valify has expanded its platform with new capabilities, making it easier for health systems to transform complex purchased services data into actionable opportunities. These include Valify-defined Insights, Indicators, and Indexes to help organizations identify and prioritize high-impact savings opportunities. Initiatives provides tools to manage those opportunities through execution, and Valify AI Chat, launched earlier this year, gives teams a new way to explore and act on complex spend data using conversational, context-aware AI.

D CEO’s Excellence in Healthcare Awards recognize the top healthcare executives, practitioners, organizations and innovators making an impact in North Texas. The 2026 winners will be announced at an event in Dallas hosted by D CEO on Dec. 10.
