Boston, MA: November 10, 2025 –DASCO Home Medical Equipment has formed a joint venture with Mass General Brigham designed to simplify the discharge process and improve access to durable medical equipment (DME) for patients transitioning from hospital to home.
Through this collaboration, MGB-DASCO functions as an integrated DME provider within Mass General Brigham hospitals. The joint venture combines DASCO’s operational expertise and supply capabilities with MGB’s clinical leadership and commitment to patient-centered care. Together, the teams have created a more reliable and coordinated system for delivering medical equipment directly to patients’ homes.
Operating seven days a week, 365 days a year, MGB-DASCO is fully integrated with MGB’s electronic medical record system, enabling clinicians to order equipment directly through Epic. DASCO liaisons are also on-site to support care teams and assist patients at the bedside, ensuring equipment is delivered quickly, often within hours.
“This collaboration is about removing barriers for both patients and clinicians,” said Jason Seeley, President of DASCO Home Medical Equipment. “Our shared goal is to ensure every patient can safely transition home with the equipment they need, when they need it. The early results show meaningful improvements in discharge efficiency and patient satisfaction.”
Since launching at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital in August 2025, the MGB-DASCO model has already demonstrated faster delivery times, reduced discharge delays, and improved coordination between hospital teams and equipment providers. The program will expand to additional MGB hospitals through 2026.
“This collaboration addresses key challenges in obtaining and coordinating home medical equipment, which often required navigating multiple vendors, follow-up calls, and delays that sometimes extended hospitals stays for patients who were otherwise ready to go home,” said Jennifer Vergados, Complex Care Program Manager, Mass General Brigham. “Now, our patients have more choice, building on our goals as a hospital system to provide the best quality, personalized care.”
Patients will continue to have their choice of DME provider, but the new option through the partnership offers a reliable integration directly into the patient care experience.
