Given in recognition of distinguished service to the home medical equipment industry, HomeCare magazine’s prestigious HomeCaring Awards™ honor those whose dedication and commitment—in any aspect of the industry—defines the “caring” that HME is all about.

This year, we invite you to nominate any individual you feel has made a true difference in HME. And don’t just tell us who they are—tell us why they deserve the HomeCaring Award.™ Your nominations may recognize a lifetime of quiet, dedicated service to a small community miles from the nearest metropolis. Or you may point out a person whose pursuit of excellence in service or advocacy has had a national impact.

The entries will be judged by a panel of industry professionals that includes representatives from HomeCare’s Editorial Advisory Board and previous HomeCaring Award™ recipients. The awards will be presented during Medtrade 2006, which will be held Sept. 19-21 in Atlanta.

Previous HomeCaring Award™ recipients include: Donald H. Adler, Care Medical Equipment
Cara C. Bachenheimer, Invacare Corp.
Joan A. Cross, C&C Homecare
Marilyn Hamilton, Sunrise Medical
Scott Higley, Quantum Rehab
Rita Hostak, Sunrise Medical
