Educational Medical Supply Vendor

[Gerald Fox]

I am trying to locate vendors that accommodate educational facilities with obtaining medical supplies.  Many medical supply companies want Physician/Director oversight.  If anyone has any recommendations of medical equipment/supply companies that are able to provide in-patient/out-patient medical durable and non-durable supplies I would greatly appreciate the information (other than Pocket Nurse).  Thanks for all the feedback in advance.

We have used both MMS and McKesson for all of our disposable and medical furniture.

We use MMS (Laura Becko 602-306-1722 x 660) she is very good and we get excellent service. We also order some items from local hospitals where our students have clinicals. This way the students have the same items they will use at the hospital and we get a lower price.

Yvette,

Thank you for the information. You are the second educational facility that uses MMS and appears to be happy with their services. I will be setting up a meeting to meet with one of their representatives. Thanks again for getting back with me and helping me out. It is very much appreciated.

NEW NUMBER for Laura Becko 520-235-2445. Her e-mail is [e-mail]
When I posted this last time I grabbed a very old card, sorry to anyone who called this wrong number.

its good to get both of their bids. I find its useful to order from more than one vendor. We order the majority from one, but there is always something from the second vendor that's a better product or a better price. Wouldn't it be a great goal for AZ SimNetwork members to work together to get favored pricing from one of the vendors to further reduce costs.

It would be interesting to see if a "co-op" could be developed with a couple vendors for positive pricing.
