Bio
Chalmes Randle
I worked with Nel as the Director of Materials at Coast Plaza Hospital (Avanti) where she helped me with request on Capital Projects. Nel was very thorough and understood my needs and deadlines as the Facilities Manger. She was instrumental in helping finding suppliers and negotiating the best price for the projects relating to TJC Inspection. Her vast knowledge of the OR equipment and instrument standards was facilitated for inspection. She completed projects by the deadline and communicated with me regularly. She was professional and friendly and had a good sense of humor when working under pressure.

Nel is very knowledgeable in the aspects of all Healthcare Supply Chain Management. Nel and I worked together at Northern Westchester Hospital, where she was the Surgical Services Material Manager and I was the Operating Room System Coordinator. She worked on budgets, inventory logistics, purchasing, value analysis, and much more. She was always focused, determined, and successful in all she managed here. Nel was always great at multi-tasking with great productivity output. She was a pleasure to work with and learn from.
