When working in the home medical equipment (HME) industry, providing exceptional customer service is incredibly important. It is a passion that providers must have. This passion and drive is what led Liam O’Keeffe to the HME industry, and it is what led to the beginning of On The Mend Medical Supplies & Equipment in 2016. On The Mend Medical Supplies & Equipment is both a VGM and VGM Live at Home member. Read the full spotlight here.

Connor’s Cuddles is an organization that honors Strutt’s late son, Connor, who passed away from Non-Hodgkin’s T-cell lymphoma.

Her work, alongside her son Connor’s legacy and the fearlessness of those she serves, is the true definition of character and is a source of inspiration for our personal abilities to serve others within the HME profession.
