CLEVELAND – Medical Service Company has acquired Carle Medical Supply, a DME provider supporting Carle Health patients in central Illinois.
“Like so many other health care systems, Carle identified that value and impact that DME has on a patient’s hospital discharge experience,” said Josh Marx, CEO of MSC. “Although a small part of the care continuum, when done well, discharge speed accelerates and patient satisfaction increases. Through MSC’s investments in technology, hospital liaisons and industry-leading care models, coupled with our family-first culture, Carle Health and its patients will benefit tremendously from this partnership.”
MSC will offer respiratory services, including oxygen, sleep and home ventilation therapy, and other HME and supplies to patients of Carle Health.
Carle Health includes eight hospitals and multi-specialty physician group practices with more than 1,300 doctors and advanced practice providers, as well as provider-driven health insurance plans.
“The shift to Medical Service Company will bring decades of experience to our communities and provide continuity of services for our patients with a strong network of durable and medical services,” said Dennis Hesch, executive vice president and CFO for Carle Health. “Medical Service Company will enable us to prioritize our core business focusing on the health and well-being of patients and the communities we serve.”
