New ProMed Distribution Center Up and Running - and Impressing Customers!

Since 1968, Professional Medical has operated out of the Chicago suburbs - and now we've grown! We recently opened a new distribution center in Solon, Ohio, located at 30305 Solon Road. This strategically located facility allows us to provide our customers in Ohio and the Northeast with even faster service. In many cases, orders will be delivered within one day.

We've been receiving great feedback on the service provided by our ProMed Express truck drivers based out of the new facility, including the following note from Sue Shrodes, the Central Supply Manager at Samaritan Care Center in Medina, Ohio:

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what an AMAZING job your truck drivers are doing with deliveries since the opening of your Solon warehouse using ProMed drivers. First of all, they are very professional, very courteous, very helpful in every way - all deliveries have been made before 4:00 p.m. as requested. In our limited storage area, they are careful to stack all boxes out of the way of computers and walk paths. They always pull the packing list and have it posted on the top box, easy to find.

This new location is just another way that ProMed helps make improving care easier! To learn more about the Ohio distribution center, we invite you to contact your ProMed territory manager or call our Customer Care team at (800) 648-5190.



Study: Safe Lifting Programs Reduce Expenses, Injuries
A new study conducted by the University of Maryland and National Council on Compensation Insurance found that long-term care facility operators can reduce expenses and injuries by installing mechanical lifts. Facilities that implement safe lifting programs generally incur lower worker's compensation costs and see fewer on-the-job injuries.

In general, long-term care facilities have higher-than-average on-the-job injury rates, and many of these injuries happen when workers are lifting and moving residents. Unless proper interventions are taken, injury rates are expected to increase as the LTC industry grows.
