FINDLAY, Ohio – Hart Medical Equipment has merged with Northwest Ohio Medical Equipment (NOME), a division of Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS), in partnership with Wood County Hospital and The Bellevue Hospital. “This is a well-planned merger that reflects Hart’s vision to expand its health system partnerships and focus on continuity of care, reduced readmissions and long-term patient outcomes,” said Allen Hunt, president of Hart Medical Equipment. During the pandemic, Hart implemented innovative technologies to meet challenges, namely TeleHart, its telehealth platform for educating customers remotely on CPAP/BiPAP, oxygen, glucometers and nebulizers. It now looks forward to expanding the platform throughout its Ohio partner health systems. “As a unique durable medical equipment provider with a specialized focus serving health care systems, Hart Medical Equipment is excited to expand its robust services and distinctive value by merging with NOME," said Bart Buxton, PhD, chair of Hart's board of directors and president and CEO of McLaren Health Management Group. The merger was effective July 1. NOME will rebrand as Hart Medical Equipment.
