Medline is investing an additional $300 million as part of the company’s Healthcare Resilience Initiative, helping to support the long-term supply chain needs of providers. That’s on top of the $2 billion investment in HRI that the company has made since 2018, furthering its commitment to delivering superior customer service.
The firm is a global manufacturer and distributor serving the healthcare industry — including long-term care operators — with medical supplies and clinical solutions that help organizations achieve both clinical and financial success.
“Medline operates the largest U.S. supply chain of any medical-surgical manufacturer and distributor, and we continue to make significant investments to ensure the resiliency of the healthcare supply chain — in distribution, manufacturing and technology,” said Jim Boyle, Medline chief executive officer. “These investments allow us to work day-to-day alongside our customers, anticipating and meeting their needs in a rapidly changing environment.”
In 2023, Medline opened five new distribution centers, representing 4.5 million square feet of incremental warehouse space, including facilities in Hammond, LA; West Jefferson, OH; Salt Lake City; St. Peters, MO; and Mebane, NC. Since 2018, Medline has opened 20 new distribution centers, bringing the company’s total footprint to more than 50 distribution centers across North America
