In the wake of recent devastating hurricanes that swept through various regions, Lincare's Long-Term Care division demonstrated exceptional commitment and resilience in supporting affected facilities. Understanding the critical needs of nursing homes and their residents, the division sprang into action, ensuring that essential supplies, particularly oxygen tanks, reached those in dire need.

Misty one of our Long-Term Care sales representatives based in Virginia, played a pivotal role in coordinating efforts across the organization. Her leadership exemplified the spirit of teamwork and collaboration necessary to tackle such a large-scale crisis effectively. The division's rapid response was a testament to its preparedness and dedication to its core mission—ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations, even in the face of natural disasters.

Misty detailed that Scott, one of our center Managers in Florida emerged as a key figure during this challenging period. He took the initiative to personally oversee the delivery of oxygen supplies to nursing homes in Florida, where the demand was critical due to the storm's destruction. His actions not only provided physical relief but also emotional reassurance to the staff and residents who were grappling with the immediate aftermath of the hurricane.

The coordinated efforts of the Lincare Long-Term Care division did not go unnoticed. The gratitude expressed by the corporate office staff, who were moved to tears by the division's unwavering support, underscores the profound impact of their work. Through their actions, Lincare's team not only upheld their commitment to customer care but also reinforced the importance of unity and compassion in times of crisis.

Steve, a Vice President with Lincare, expressed his pride, stating, “During both hurricane Milton and Helene, Misty, Scott and the entire Lincare service team rallied to make sure our Long-Term Care customers received the life sustaining equipment they needed. I could not be prouder and more blessed to be on such a caring and dedicated team!”

As communities begin to rebuild and recover, the exemplary service provided by Lincare’s Long-Term Care division stands as a beacon of hope and resilience.
