About The Company
Medical Supplies Marketplace™ (MSM) was founded by healthcare industry veteran Deborah K. Thomas and proven B2B marketing powerhouse Laura Crouse. Combining 25 years of hands-on global experience in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Medical Device and Supplies industry with an equally successful and industry respected Sales and Marketing background for global B2B & B2C brand marketers and media publishers, creates just the right mix of skills needed to take on such an industry changing task.
As the healthcare industry fights to survive the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturers, hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are forced to look at any solution that might help cut costs and increase revenues. Such revenues keep manufacturing lines open, medical facilities open, staff employed, and critical services offered to patients.
The sudden demand for critical medical supplies that swept across the United States, pushed the healthcare supply chain to the breaking point. Industry articles and news media had no shortage of stories telling of product sourcing nightmares, scammers, price gouging, fraudulent products, extreme allocation limits and extensive shipping delays. Suddenly, the curtain was pulled back on the outdated, offline, and unfair medical supply chain.
Above all else, know that the core guiding principles, which sparked the idea to finally revolutionize the medical supplies supply chain, were fairness and transparency.
