Who we are
We’re still the “do whatever it takes” family business that started it all
OUR PEOPLE
Get to know our people, our culture and what drives us
We’re problem solvers and strategic thinkers on a mission to make healthcare run better. Our employees are empowered to make and act on their own decisions, all thanks to an entrepreneurial culture. Every day, we come to work with one purpose: to help our partners free up the resources they need to deliver their best care.
How do we do it? Our agile workforce—from clinicians and product specialists to supply chain experts—has the ability to respond quickly to a dynamically changing market, customizing solutions to our customers’ unique needs. This is what makes us more than a manufacturer and distributor. And we’re proving it every day.
