MMS - A Medical Supply Company was founded in 1970 under the name of Midwest Medical Supply Company, Inc. and focused on the acute care market. The company's goal of becoming the most customer driven healthcare provider is as important today, as it was over thirty-five years ago.

MMS prides itself in being a Regional Distributor with a National Presence allowing us to provide dedication and commitment to our customers along with a broad array of products. MMS has a nationwide team of sales professionals as well as distribution centers located in major market areas to provide excellent supply chain management.

In 1996, the current owners purchased Midwest Medical Supply with locations in Missouri, Kansas and Guam. MMS broadened its market share with the 2001 addition of a distribution center in Houston, Texas. With the 2002 acquisition of the Perigon Group, consisting of six locations, the Midwest umbrella expanded and began operating under the name of MMS - A Medical Supply Company. In 2003 Harris Hospital Supply, out of the Chicago area, was added. In response to a contract awarded by the state of Louisiana, MMS' next location opened in Baton Rouge in 2004. In 2006 MMS acquired the Caligor Hospital division and the Henry Schein Extended Care division in the greater New York region, significantly increasing MMS' presence in this geography. And, the most recent addition came in 2007 with the acquisition of Medical Innovations adding locations in Georgia and North Carolina.

MMS now has divisions dedicated to EMS, government facilities, home care, hospice, hospitals, industrial business, large IDNs, nursing homes, physician practices, redistribution, specialty products as well as a retail segment.
