Through this three-year deal, leading medical supplier Medline will provide Guardian Elder Care with an extensive portfolio of essential supplies that will better position the system to streamline supply chain operations and simultaneously manage costs. Such products include Ultrasorbs® AP Underpads, Heelmedix Heel Protection Devices, and the Medline Remedy® Phytoplex™ line, a unique sensitive skin formula that uses plant-based ingredients and no perfumes to nourish, moisturize and soothe the skin.
“With decades of supply chain experience, our Medline sales representatives understand the challenges and pain points long-term care facilities face, said Matt Van Zelst, vice president of national accounts for post-acute care, Medline. We’re dedicated to standing by Guardian Elder Care’s side and providing them with high-quality products and solutions to meet their clinical and financial goals.”
Furthermore, as the timely delivery of products is critical to providing quality patient care, Medline’s distribution centers in Canton, Ohio, Baltimore Md. and Middletown, N.Y. will help Guardian Elder Care’s entities quickly receive products, when and where they need them.
“Our new partnership with Medline will support our ongoing efforts around our Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement process, as we serve our senior community and those in need of rehab,” said Cindy Kreider, Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations at Guardian Elder Care. “Providing ongoing evidence-based education is beneficial to our patients and staff.
