ORLANDO, Fla. — The Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) honored 10 pharmaceutical and consumer product manufacturers with Distribution Industry Awards for Notable Achievements in Healthcare (DIANA Awards) at the 2025 HDA Business and Leadership Conference in Orlando, Fla.
The DIANA is one of HDA’s highest honors. Established in 1959, it recognizes manufacturer members for developing new and innovative products and promotions for the healthcare distribution industry and companies that enhance business practices with their distributor trading partners. The DIANA awards have evolved to recognize manufacturers’ commitment to advancing supply chain best practices through the organization’s participation in HDA. Winning companies, selected by HDA distributor-member executives, represent exceptional leadership and innovation in the healthcare marketplace.
“I congratulate the 2025 DIANA award winners for their achievements in advancing trade relations as well as a commitment to product innovation,” said Chester “Chip” Davis, Jr., President and CEO, HDA. “The healthcare industry relies on strong partnerships between distributors and manufacturers, who ultimately help advance patient access to quality care. The winners of this year’s awards help improve the lives of Americans and the healthcare ecosystem.”
