Arjo specialized team focuses on veterans' care, government customers

ADDISON, Ill., April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Arjo Inc. has formed a new dedicated team with a clear focus on growing our existing footprint in the government sector. By continuing our high level of service and increasing solutions for ease of business, we will maintain our pursuit of increasing the quality of care for caregivers and veterans worldwide.

As a part of these efforts, Arjo has entered into exclusive agreements with two service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) vendors:  

• Alliant Enterprises, LLC has exclusive distribution rights to market and sell Arjo patient-handling, hygiene and disinfection capital equipment
• Veteran Healthcare Supply Solutions has exclusive rights to market and sell Arjo deep vein thrombosis, diagnostic, lymphedema, medical bed and therapeutic support surface capital equipment

In addition, Arjo was awarded a national agreement on March 1 with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) focused on providing hygiene solutions to veterans. The VA Strategic Acquisition Center's Non-Expendable Equipment Program awarded Arjo a national blanket purchase agreement (BPA) for our Carendo^® multipurpose hygiene chair. This ergonomic chair makes hygiene routines safer and more comfortable for patients and reduces caregiver injury risk.

"Arjo is very pleased to support caregivers providing for the unique needs of veterans. More than 9 million veterans seek care from the VA each year. We are proud that Arjo products have a place in ensuring the dignity, safety and comfort of people who served in the U.S. military," said Arjo's Nicholas Rodich, Senior Manager of Government Corporate Accounts.
