In the fast-changing world of healthcare, HME and DME providers encounter unique challenges and opportunities. To successfully navigate this dynamic environment, leveraging industry insights is essential. VGM experts generate these insights through market research and monthly surveys, equipping HME and DME providers with the knowledge they need to succeed. 

Gathering insights helps providers stay ahead of market trends.

For example, the aging population and increasing chronic conditions highlight the need for specialized HME and DME products. Knowledge of these trends enables providers to align offerings with market needs, remaining competitive and relevant.

Providers are encouraged to participate in VGM & Associates' monthly surveys, designed to gather critical data on industry trends, challenges, and opportunities. This input helps develop tailored insights that drive meaningful improvements.
