Just to follow up: Memorial Day is Fast Approaching

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have paid the ultimate price to defend the United States and the principles upon which America was founded.  These brave service men and women are without a doubt the best of our country!

With that in mind Grove and the carriers we utilize to ship your orders will be closed on Monday May 30, 2011 in observance of this important holiday.  Please mark your calendars and plan ahead to ensure that you have the products and services you need by Friday May 27th.

Contact your Grove Sales Rep or Customer Service Rep to discuss the  2011 Memorial Day Carrier Holiday Schedule.

National Nurses Week 2011

Grove would like to take the time to say thank you to all of the nurses out there who care for us when we’re in need. We’d especially like to send a big thanks to nurses in Long Term Care settings.  You are often overlooked and under appreciated and we want you to know that your hard work and efforts do not go unnoticed.

There is no doubt that nursing is both an art and a science as well as the backbone of healthcare around the world.  Here’s to you!
