Blue Sky Capital Strategies, LLC awarded Leasing and Financial Services agreement with Premier Inc

NEW YORK - Rezul -- Blue Sky Capital Strategies, LLC, a specialized advisory firm in equipment leasing and equipment financing announced its continued focus on helping organizations reduce costs, improve financial flexibility and mitigate risk through experienced lease structuring, contract negotiations and financing advisory services has been awarded a national group purchasing agreement for Leasing and Financial Services with Premier, Inc. effective July 1, 2026.

"Most organizations are paying more than necessary because equipment finance agreements often contain negotiable pricing, structure and term components that are not fully optimized," said Jim Cross, co-CEO of Blue Sky Capital Strategies. "Blue Sky's advisory team brings over 25 years of advisory experience, analytical discipline, contract lifecycle management strategies and real-time market intelligence to help clients achieve significant savings, with historical engagements delivering an average savings of 20%.

"Hospitals are facing one of the tightest capital environments in a decade, and equipment refresh decisions on imaging, surgical robotics, and lab automation are getting deferred or financed under terms that don't provide the lowest total cost for the asset lifecycle." said Jim Cross, co-CEO of Blue Sky Capital Strategies. "Premier members will now have access to the same lease structuring, real time market intelligence and contract management advisory services that we provide for our clients — applied at the scale of Premier's alliance."

U.S. healthcare systems are confronting shrinking margins and rising labor costs, deferred capital projects, increased equipment costs and elevated borrowing costs.  Equipment finance — historically, a procurement back-office function — has become a meaningful lever for protecting operating margins and accelerating clinical capability investments.

Independent advisory addresses a structural gap: most equipment lease terms are negotiated between the health system and the captive, independents, and bank lessors with limited buyer-side benchmarking. Blue Sky's role under the Premier partnership is to bring institutional benchmarking, structuring and negotiating expertise with disciplined life cycle management to member-side decision-making.

Premier is a leading technology‑driven healthcare improvement company. Playing a critical role in the rapidly evolving healthcare industry, Premier unites providers, suppliers and payers to make healthcare better with national scale, smarter with actionable intelligence and faster with novel technologies. Headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Premier offers integrated data and analytics, collaboratives, supply chain solutions, advisory services and other solutions in service of its mission to improve the health of communities.
