Prestigious industry award recognizes Nationwide Medical’s commitment to patient care, innovation, and excellence in home medical equipment.
Nationwide Medical is proud to announce that we have been named the 2026 HME Provider of the Year at the HME News Business Summit in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 13, 2026. The award, presented as part of the HME Excellence Awards hosted by HME News and sponsored by ACU-Serve, recognizes excellence across the home medical equipment (HME) industry.
Selected from a competitive field of outstanding providers, Nationwide Medical earned this distinction through our continued commitment to exceptional patient care, operational excellence, technology adoption, and expanding access to respiratory care. The recognition reflects the dedication of our team and our mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the patients and communities we serve.
A Team Achievement Rooted in Patient Care
For Nationwide Medical CEO David Siegel, this recognition represents far more than an industry award. It celebrates the people behind the work every day.
“This award is the epitome of a team award, and it truly belongs to all the amazing Nationwide Medical employees that go to work every day with a mindset to serve others,” said Siegel. “Thank you to the selection committee and HME News for this incredible honor. On behalf of Nationwide Medical, and our great private equity partners at Heritage Group, we are truly so grateful for this recognition.”
In a message to employees following the announcement, Siegel also emphasized the importance of their collective contributions:
“Your dedication, your hard work, and your unrelenting commitment to caring for our patients and referral partners are the heart of who we are.”
That commitment extends across every part of the organization, from the teams helping patients access essential medical equipment and supplies to the employees supporting healthcare providers and referral partners.
Recognized for Innovation and Continuous Improvement
The HME Provider of the Year award recognizes organizations that demonstrate strength across multiple areas, including financial performance, quality controls, staffing, technology, and community involvement.
Nationwide Medical stood out to the selection committee for its focus on continuous improvement and its thoughtful adoption of automation, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. These investments help strengthen internal operations while keeping patient care at the center of the company’s priorities.
One of the award judges, Miriam Lieber, president of Lieber Consulting, highlighted Nationwide Medical’s ability to embrace innovation without losing sight of its purpose: serving patients with care and compassion.
The judges’ recognition reinforces Nationwide Medical’s belief that operational excellence and compassionate service go hand in hand.
Looking Ahead
Being named the 2026 HME Provider of the Year is a milestone in Nationwide Medical’s ongoing journey, but the work continues. We look forward to building on this achievement by continuing to innovate, expanding access to care, and supporting the patients, families, healthcare providers, and communities that place their trust in Nationwide Medical.
We are grateful to HME News, the award selection committee, our partners, and—most importantly—our dedicated employees who make this recognition possible.
Thank you for being part of the Nationwide Medical story.
