Our Proposition

Durable and home medical equipment providers fill a crucial role in our healthcare ecosystem. These products empower patients to participate more fully in their community and perform activities most healthy individuals take for granted.

We have a proven playbook for providing disposables, strong relationships with some of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of our products, and a technology stack that enables proactive, consistent client communication.

And most of our clients never receive a bill from our companies.

We view our role as stewarding in the next generation of medical equipment distribution to help our patients get what they need to live with dignity.
