Irving, TX, October 11, 2024 --(PR.com)-- On Oct. 8, Keep Irving Beautiful (KIB) welcomed 34 Vizient, Inc. employee volunteers to Northwest Park, 2800 Cheyenne Street, for the company’s 21st annual “Community Day” event. Employees brought a fresh look to the park bridge and safety fencing by brightening the structures with a new coat of blue paint. The group’s combined efforts contributed a total of 102 volunteer service hours to KIB.

Irving-based Vizient, Inc., is the largest member-owned health care company in the nation.
