VGM & Associates is proud to announce the launch of its new podcast series, IM: Unfiltered, created with members of the VGM community in mind. This dynamic new series delivers candid conversations, expert insights, and timely updates that matter most to home medical equipment (HME) providers. 

Hosted by Lindy Tentinger, President of VGM & Associates, IM: Unfiltered offers a fresh, unscripted perspective on topics such as advocacy and legislation, industry trends, and member success stories. Each episode is designed to inform, inspire, and energize VGM members with meaningful dialogue throughout the HME community. 

“We wanted to create a space where we could speak directly to our VGM members — honestly, openly, and with purpose,” said Tentinger. “IM: Unfiltered is about cutting through the noise and delivering real value to the people who power this industry. We’re excited to connect with our community in a more personal way.” 

Listeners can expect timely updates on industry happenings, including legislation and advocacy efforts, conversations with HME industry leaders and experts, and practical insights for navigating today’s HME landscape.
