It’s been one year since the announcement of Med Supply’s multi-year partnership with the Arizona Coyotes. How do you feel the partnership has benefited Med Supply one year later?
I feel that the partnership has helped position Med Supply to broaden our book of business and opened many additional doors, including a hospitality linens customer base. The partnership really has been a launching pad for the continuing growth of Med Supply into the foreseeable future. We are also noticing our brand gaining traction in markets outside our home market area here in MI. We are very excited about upcoming opportunities and are very thankful for the partnership that we’ve had with the Arizona Coyotes.
How much did Med Supply donate in total for the Every Save Counts Initiative in 2021?
The Every Save Counts initiative last year was a partnership with Vitalant. The initiative works as follows: for every save that an Arizona Coyote goalie makes, Med Supply donates $10 towards the wonderful efforts that Vitalant provides for the surrounding Arizona communities. Over the course of 2021 we were able to donate a total of $15,000.
At the initial partnership announcement there was mention of how this connection would serve and benefit the state of Arizona. How has this partnership served Arizona so far?
It has helped strengthen already existing relationships in the community and gone to help Vitalant assist the Arizona community, as well as other health care entities. We really are excited for opportunities where Med Supply can help partner with local companies to help in any way we can.
Med Supply is the official PPE Provider of the Arizona Coyotes. Can you provide an estimate of how much PPE Med Supply has provided the Coyotes over the last year, and what PPE was included?
We are a primary supplier of hand sanitizer and hand sanitizer dispensers at the Gila River Arena (Coyote’s home arena). On opening night of last year they purchased 5,000 cloth masks as a fan give-away from Med Supply. They’re on our monthly program where we provide the hand sanitizer dispenser at no cost and additionally one gallon of hand sanitizer a month per dispenser is sent to them.
What initiatives are Med Supply and the Arizona Coyotes Foundation excited about for the upcoming year?
We’re very excited for the partnership with the Ronald McDonald House of Central and Northern Arizona. With the good folks at Ronald McDonald House we’re looking forward to what ways we can assist them with the wonderful projects that they do in the community. We have a trip scheduled in the upcoming months to attend a home game for the Coyote’s, as well as visit one of the locations that is near one of the larger hospital systems in Arizona. We’ll get to see the wonderful work they do, not only for the children but also for the families in the area that are in need. We are just really excited to team up with such a great organization.
