NORTHFIELD, Ill. – Medline has signed a supplier agreement with Texas-based Coastal Bend DME, a locally owned and operated durable medical equipment (DME) and supply company serving communities in South Texas. The agreement provides Coastal Bend DME with access to Medline’s expansive product portfolio and next-day delivery capabilities, supporting Coastal Bend DME’s provision of home care and DME to patients. “We are thrilled to solidify our relationship through this new agreement,” said Britt Murray, post-acute care sales representative, Medline. “This deal formalizes our commercial relationship, enables drop shipping and leverages our Medline Home Direct program to deliver single-patient orders directly to residences.” Coastal Bend is serviced out of Medline’s distribution center in Katy, Texas, part of its national network of 45 distribution facilities that help enable next-day delivery to 95% of U.S. customers. The companies say the collaboration will help improve both the availability and accessibility of high-quality medical supplies, including incontinence items, enteral nutrition and DME, for Coastal Bend DME’s patients. “Partnering with Medline allows us to expand our product offerings and better serve our clients with reliable and innovative medical supplies,” said Raymond Salloum, owner of Coastal Bend DME. “We’re excited about this formalized agreement, which brings competitive pricing and streamlined logistics to our operations, ultimately benefiting the communities we serve.”
