CMH Home Medical Equipment store in Hermitage to close Oct. 27
The Citizens Memorial Home Medical Equipment store in Hermitage will close on Friday, Oct 27. The HME store is located inside CMH Hermitage Rehabilitation Clinic, 114 W. Polk Street in Hermitage.
CMH has operated an HME retail store in Hermitage since 1989. CMH will continue to provide HME services to the Hermitage and Hickory County area through delivery services from the CMH-Bolivar store.
Patients using home oxygen services from the HME-Hermitage store can have their oxygen delivered to their homes by calling the HME-Bolivar location at 417-326-3584.
“The majority of the business through the HME-Hermitage store was from home oxygen services,” Jim Russell, director of CMH home medical equipment said. “We’ve already contacted those patients impacted by this change and have a plan in place for them.”
According to Russell, several factors went into the decision to close the retail store including personnel turnover, less foot traffic in the Hermitage location, increased costs to maintaining medical supply inventory, and the need for additional space for the rehabilitation clinic where the HME-Hermitage store is located.
