National Seating & Mobility Adds Locations in Ohio & Washington
Nashville-headquartered National Seating & Mobility (NSM) has grown again, this time adding an office in central Ohio and expanding for the first time into the state of Washington.
In a pair of May 12 news announce- ments, NSM said it had acquired Seattle-based Dependable Medical Equipment and Columbus Medical Equipment in Columbus, Ohio.
The central Ohio expansion
also “powers the launch of the first AccessNSM home solutions location in Ohio, offering a full spectrum of accessibility products supporting mobility and independence,” the complex rehab provider said.
“This investment allows the company to immediately bolster our service offerings to the physicians, therapists and patients throughout Central Ohio,” added NSM CEO
Bill Mixon.
NSM takes over the existing Columbus Medical Equipment office location at 306 E. 5th Ave. in Columbus, Ohio. Three ATPs and one rehab technology supplier from Columbus Medical have joined NSM’s staff and will continue to work at the Columbus location.
Columbus Medical Equipment opened for business in 1975.
The acquisition of Dependable Medical Equipment means NSM now has a location in Washington state. Four ATPs and one rehab technology supplier from Dependable Medical Equipment have joined NSM and will continue to work from the 17703 15th Ave. NE location in Seattle.
“Dependable Medical Equipment’s strong reputation and focus on quality products and personalized service aligns well with NSM’s mission and values,” said Mixon. “We are pleased to add this experienced group to
our growing network of branches nationwide.”
NSM’s annual education symposium and expo for ATPs and managers takes place in Nashville in July. m
