Vanna began as a manufacturer of camper vans, designed to be fully off-grid and operational in all four seasons

LAS VEGAS—Vanna Medical Vans of West Fargo, North Dakota recently joined a growing list of first-time exhibitors aiming to test the home medical equipment (HME) waters at Medtrade.  

With a booth large enough to show off its mobile medical unit (MMU) van, Ben Gleason, cofounder and CEO will be at Medtrade to discuss possibilities with HME providers. Vanna began as a manufacturer of camper vans, designed to be fully off-grid and operational in all four seasons.

“We were approached by medical clinics wanting medical vans, so we built a medical van for a client in northern Minnesota,” Gleason said. “After that, we had more requests. We decided to actually engineer a product as a mobile medical unit (MMU), with the same values of wanting to build the most high quality, durable and four-season van.  

“We used what we learned with camper vans to build in durability and quality components, and then designed our product, the MMU,” Gleason continued. “The Vanna MMU is our doctor’s office on wheels, which is the product that brings us to Medtrade. MMU is our branded product name.”  

Medtrade 2024 is scheduled for March 26-28, 2024 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas.

“Exhibitor sign-ups are strong and we anticipate a vibrant show,” said Kerry Tyler, associate show director. “Medtrade is the perfect place to jump start the new year.”
