Hurricane Irene Is On Her Way

If you haven’t heard by now the first hurricane of the 2011 season is on its way, and fast.

Hurricane Irene is heading towards the southeastern part of the country and the Hurricane Prep Center is urging us all, individuals and businesses, to get prepared and cover all our bases.  The Weather Channel also warns against complacency that may have been bred by the fact that only 4 hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. since the destructive 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.  Irene will be no different than any other hurricane, you cannot assume that it will make landfall elsewhere.

According to most reports we’ve read Irene should make landfall in south Florida early Friday morning and travel north reaching northern Florida early Saturday morning.

As your medical supply distribution partner we want to make sure that you have everything you need to be prepared and ready to care for your patients.  Please call, email or fax us ASAP to avoid any break downs in the supply chain and ensure that you have everything you need to provide the care your patients deserve.

Again we appreciate our partnerships and look forward to serving you!

New Skin Wellness System by Kendall

Our friends at Kendall, a part of Covidien, have introduced their new Skin Wellness System in an effort to be the complete partner in providing top notch care for your patients.  Kendall’s system is designed to cleanse, moisturize, protect and treat skin and when you use each of the products in the line you can very effectively care for damaged skin, especially damage caused by incontinence.

The products in Kendall’s Skin Wellness System contain jojoba oil, a natural extract from the seeds of the jojoba plant that very closely resembles the oils found in our skin.  This resemblance allows the jojoba oil to be easily absorbed into the skin and with repeated application the moisturizing and skin protection effects of the jojoba oil are maximized.

As mentioned before you’ll find in this program products to cleanse, moisturize, protect and treat skin.  There are two no rinse cleansing options (Body Wash and Shampoo and 2-in-1 Cleanser), three options for moisturizing (Moisturizing Lotion, Moisture Barrier Cream and Soothing Ointment), one option for protection (Antimicrobial Cleanser) and one for treatment (Antifungal Cream).

Grove is one of only a handful of distributors in the healthcare supply chain with access to Kendall’s new Skin Wellness line so give us a call, email or visit our website for more information, we’d love to help you!

The Close of Summer is on its Way

Labor Day is coming up marking the close to a VERY hot summer and an opportunity for another long weekend!  With that in mind we need to announce that all of our carriers, as well as Grove, will be closed on Monday September 5th in observance of the holiday.  What this means for us and our partners  is that no pick ups or deliveries of orders will be made on that Monday so we need to prepare.

To ensure that you have all of the medical supplies you need before the weekend please place your order with us by Wednesday, August 31st.  And remember there are several ways to do this, you can visit our website, email or call your Customer Service Representative or fax your order in to 864-220-1745.

Thank you for your time and don’t forget to check us out on Facebook and Twitter…just two more ways to stay connected and informed!
