The Resilience of America

This Sunday marks the ten year anniversary of the greatest tragedy in modern American history, the attacks of September 11, 2001.  And while the wounds of these attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. are deep and irreparable they show the world that America is a resilient country, a country that will not lay down in the face of adversity.  This characteristic has best been exemplified by the FDNY, NYPD, First Responders and  carried on by our service men and women who defend our rights and way of life across the globe.

Although it never seems like enough, we say thank you to the heroes of that day and of the days and years that have followed.  We also send our deepest, most heart felt  regards to the families left behind by all that were lost as a result of these attacks and the ensuing wars.  America continues to be “…a shining city upon a hill..” and will carry on as strong as ever.

Website Upgrade to Grove Medical!

We updated our website recently and added a brand new, custom feature at checkout that brings you what you want…the right ship to address quickly!  Based on customer feedback one area of our website that needed improvement was the Ship To Look Up function at checkout.  We listened to your needs and produced a great new way that saves you both time and effort!

The next time you’re on our website placing an order and are about to checkout you’ll notice this new search box:

To use this feature select what you’d like to search by (don’t forget to set your default of ID, Name, Street, City, State or Zip if you prefer on search type over another) and then start typing in the text box.  The more you enter the more the website narrows your search.  Once you find who or where you need simply select the address by clicking on it and there you go.

At Grove we love what we do and we strive to provide a level of customer service that you won’t find anywhere else.  We hope you find this enhancement very useful and we’re always open to further suggestions so please don’t hesitate to contact us!

How do we fit in?

We are in the business of medical supply distribution; what that means is we buy direct from manufacturers and ship those products to our customers.  We are the healthcare industry’s partner and supply chain expert that helps support patient care, manage costs and ensure efficient access to essential products.  As it is often said we are not on the “sexy” side of healthcare, but we are essential to healthcare.

HIDA, the Health Industry Distributors Association, says we:

• Reduce the number of vendor transactions in the healthcare supply chain
• Deliver medical products quickly and reliably
• Respond to healthcare provider questions
• Share expertise on healthcare supply and logistics issues
• Mitigate “minimum order” requirements for healthcare providers
• Build relationships with healthcare facilities and caregivers
• Serve as a tracking and audit point for transactions
• Promote environmental conservation through fuel conservation and recycling

At Grove we’re happy to be a part of the healthcare supply chain.  We take pride in what we do and how we do it and would love to show you the Grove Medical difference!
