We will be having Brittni from Southward Medical Speaking to us about who Southward is and what they do in our community
Southward Medical Supplies was started by my father Phil Southward in 2009, he has since retired, and now I am running it.

We strive to provide the best customer service in our field, our goal is to make life easier for clients, especially since we're the last place people want to have to shop at.

We try to carry as many products as we can to be a one-stop shop.

We have bracing, first aid supplies, rehab equipment, daily living aids, home and bathroom safety equipment, and manual and electric mobility devices.

We've also hired a new technician and are installing stairlifts and custom ramp systems to help people stay at home longer. We also offer free home assessments.

We truly love what we do, and helping people with mobility issues find solutions, is what drives us to be the best.

This meeting will be available by zoom...if you are interested in getting the link please contact Chantelle from John Rudy Health Resource Center at [email protected]

We hope to see you there
