Henry Ford cracks down on vendors

Henry Ford Health System is the latest large health care system to formalize and implement policies and procedures "aimed at eliminating potential conflict of interest between relationships with vendors and employees." A novel component of Henry Ford's new P&Ps is a certification program for vendors. The cost of the certification program is $100 (per person?). Bottom line:
"Promotional products of any kind, food supplied by vendors or literature distributed by vendors, will no longer permitted at any Henry Ford site."
I think they mean "...will no longer be permitted..."; in any event, we get the point.
