Home Care Medical Turns 35

NEW BERLIN, Wis. — Home Care Medical, founded by father and son David and Richard Rolfs in 1974, is celebrating its 35th anniversary. The company, which started with two employees and 1,100 customers in the Milwaukee area, had grown to serving most of southeastern Wisconsin by 1983. That same year, the HME helped found the Wisconsin Association of Medical Equipment Services (WAMES). Now, with nearly 39,000 square feet of space at its corporate headquarters plus an 8,000-sq. ft. retail store open six days a week, Home Care Medical "will continue to expand to meet the needs of our customers," said President John Teevan, who took the reins in 1990.
