NAIMES Marks Second Year

After announcing its formation at Medtrade Spring in 2007, the
National
Association of Independent Medical Equipment Suppliers
celebrated its second anniversary in April. The group now includes
members in 32 states, according to a release. “We are very proud of
what we have accomplished in this short time,” noted Wayne
Stanfield, president and CEO. Among those accomplishments, NAIMES
lists a “Stop Competitive Bidding” online survey that garnered
5,500 signatures in 2008, and creation of the “Warriors for DME”
movement as an advocacy process for providers.
