Mixon Receives OAMES Lifetime Achievement Award

COLUMBUS, Ohio–The Ohio Association of Medical Equipment
Services has presented Invacare Chairman and CEO Mal Mixon with its
first lifetime achievement award.

Given at its November annual meeting, the award was created “to
thank an individual whose contribution to home health care is
arguably unsurpassed by anyone working in the field today,”
according to the association.

“OAMES chose to present Mal with the lifetime achievement award
to express our immense gratitude for his support of this
association over the 27 years of our existence. But more
importantly, we thank him for his undying dedication to his
customers and the patients that receive the benefit of home care
throughout the world,” said Kam Yuricich, executive director of
OAMES.

During the presentation, Mixon was acknowledged for his
forward-thinking and steadfast leadership to the HME industry and
Ohio’s business community.

“Having worked for OAMES over the past 21 years, I’ve witnessed
Mal and Invacare’s immeasurable generosity to our state association
first-hand for more than two decades,” Yuricich said. “While OAMES
is an organization long blessed with exceptional leaders and
active, dedicated members, having Invacare in our ranks to help
with the heavy-lifting of our advocacy work has been one of the
biggest blessings of all. Mal is enormously respected by his peers,
a fighter in the field and an inspiration to all who meet and work
with him.”
