ABOUT US
Family Medical Supply is a locally owned durable medical equipment provider serving patients across north Arkansas. We deliver, set up, and service the equipment people rely on to stay safe and independent at home. Our team is part of a larger family of healthcare companies, and we take pride in showing up on time, treating patients with respect, and getting the details right.
POSITION SUMMARY
