Our History


Preferred Medical was formed in 1982 (under the name Midstate Medical) for the purpose of selling and distributing medical supplies and equipment to the nursing home and long-term care (LTC) marketplace in the state of Arkansas.
The LTC market in our geographic area wanted a local company providing local service that would make their needs a priority, and not be treated as one of thousands of customers. Our unique approach to the market allowed us to rapidly grow across the southern United States.
As we grew, we expanded our product offering and market presence to all segments of the LTC market, including nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, home health agencies, hospice providers, as well as Medicaid and Medicare Durable Medical Equipment providers. We changed our name to Preferred Medical in 2007 to reflect the larger company, expanded product offering and geographic footprint.
In 2018, we were acquired by NDC, Inc. and continued our growth trajectory. We further strengthened our offerings in home health by combining with Dedicated Distribution and HSS, and now operate as a unified entity under the name Preferred Medical, An NDC Company.
With the support of our customers, our supply partners and employees, we look forward to continued growth and success.
