May 21, 2024- In a recent interview with HME Business, Rob Schlissberg, president of Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions discussed the future of the business as an enabler of the home healthcare industry. According to Schlissberg, “Cardinal Health has been building a new business called Velocare, a first-of-its-kind distributed supply chain logistical solution for health systems trying to set up a hospital-at-home program. This is something that we’re really excited about and will continue to invest in and look to grow.”
Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions is a leading medical supplies distributor that serves roughly 5 million customers in the U.S. each year. It’s three business units – Cardinal Health™ at-Home, Edgepark and Velocare (a hospital-at-home solution recently highlighted in this Newsroom article) all share a common thread: Enabling care in the home through the delivery of critical medical products and solutions direct-to-patients’ doorsteps.
“We need more strong voices for the HME industry. We want to make sure that the HME itself is being recognized for the value it delivers. There are still entities and different parts of the healthcare system that believe that all HME suppliers do is push products — and that’s not true. The pandemic helped shed light on the value that HME can provide … we want to be a big part of that and lend our voice to moving that forward,” said Schlissberg.
