Health Care
There are almost 5,000 community hospitals in the U.S. With so many potential buyers at each institution, there are tens of thousands of opportunities to make in-roads with clients looking for functional health-care-themed items.
Case Study
Healthy Sales
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 15,700 nursing homes in the United States, with approximately 1.4 million residents. A variety of branded products can help providers and residents at these institutions. Products include alcohol-free hand sanitizing lotion from Bullet (asi/42424) to keep germs at bay, and Med Minders from Evans Manufacturing (asi/52840) to remind residents to take their medications. Plus, the scrub top from Rugged Outfitters (asi/84143) will keep staff members looking professional throughout their long workdays.
Of course, health care is much broader than nursing homes. There are 97,990 dentists across the country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Dental offices are always looking for toothbrushes to distribute to patients, such as the soft-bristled toothbrush with rubber gum stimulators from OraLine, Inc. (asi/75205). Additionally, there are more than 200,000 physical therapists in the U.S., many of whom could use a non-latex Resistor strip from Ad Bands (asi/34345) for their therapy sessions.
