"We have come a long way in 30 years, from $19 million to $1.75 billion in sales, and we look forward to moving up in the rankings in future years," said the company's Mal Mixon, chairman and CEO. "Today, home health care is becoming a reality for more and more patients, and Invacare has taken a position of strong advocacy for the home care industry. Home care is a trifecta in the health care system — it is patient preferred, has better clinical outcomes and is significantly more cost effective than institutional care."
