OF or TO

Question

In the following sentence, do I use OF or TO in describing the relationship to Central Hospital?
Examples: "vendor to Central Hospital" or "Vendor of Central Hospital"
The vendor does not work for the hospital.
The vendor suppllies goods to the hospital.

"I understand that as a vendor to Central Hospital, I may view or overhear information of a confidential/secure nature."

Thanks

Hello, Dhborchardt, welcome to the Enflish Forums!
Maybe the use of "supplier" instead of "vendor" would erase any ambiguity?
... as a supplier of the Central Hospital... ?

Since this is a part of a legal document, we are stuck with Vendor unless we want to carry the change throuout all of our policies.

In that case I would use vendor to, as vendor of makes it sound like someone who has a stall outside selling flowers to visitors!

I agree supplier is better though.

OF or TO
