ST. LOUIS, Mo.--Three veteran home care executives are at the helm of newly formed Access Point Medical, which describes itself as a "global manufacturer of high-quality, low-cost home medical equipment."

Leading the company are CEO Hans Stover, who once headed the home care division of Puritan-Bennett, along with co-chairmen Jerry Jones and Tom O'Donnell. Jones is a former Apria Healthcare chairman and CEO, and O'Donnell has previously served as president of North American operations for Sunrise Medical.

"APM is implementing a strategy of providing high-quality products at lower costs by controlling its own global manufacturing facilities," according to a press release issued last week. The company currently has three manufacturing sites in China and plans to add three more during the next six months.

In its second month of sales, APM's initial product offering of ambulatory, bath safety and mobility products includes canes, walkers, commodes, shower chairs, transport wheelchairs and standard wheelchairs. The company plans to introduce power mobility equipment and respiratory products by the end of the year.
