In part, this has a lot to do with timing. Healthcare is moving from acute-care focused to non-acute care focused. Health systems are getting bigger with more points of care along the entirety of the care continuum. These larger systems are working very hard to capture the benefits of scale through greater systemness. This all points to an expanded need for – and available value creation from – intra-company logistics, the category that MedSpeed – and all of our team members – has made its life’s work.
However, expansion does not come solely because there is a need and someone is there to fill it. It is more directly a product of the trust that health systems, laboratories and other healthcare organizations have placed in us. Our growth is also a product of the incredible contributions our customers have made and continue to make in helping us improve what we do. It is a testament to the hard work put forth by the MedSpeed team that merits this trust. For all these reasons, I truly couldn’t be more grateful, appreciative and humbled to be a part of this constellation of collaborators working together to make healthcare better and to ultimately take better care of our communities.
