The Health North Flower

You may have seen our logo recently, and you may be wondering, why a flower?

Everything happens for a reason, right? Either way, our logo is no coincidence. At HealthNorth we are working to become the best single source provider of medical equipment and services for those with disabilities. We provide everything from pharmaceutical services to assisted living and our logo represents this. Each petal stands for a way in which we can help those with disabilities live fulfilling lives and retain a dignified presence within their communities.

For example one petal represents Home Health Aides. Currently in the U.S. Approximately 12 million individuals currently receive care from more than 33,000 providers. Health North is proud to include this be a part of this industry. Health North is the best single source provider of medical products and services and we hire people like this to provide dignified and top notch care. Patients include people with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, Alzheimers Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and other types of disabilities, our dedicated and qualified staff are here to help.

This is just one example of what the petals of the HealthNorth flower represent. What is most important, though, is the customer at the center. All of our products and services are done to help those who need it, and we hope you stick around to learn about how we do this using every petal of the HealthNorth flower.
