Provider Medical is based in Hendersonville, Tennessee, just outside Nashville. Orders ship from our warehouse or directly from the manufacturer, dependent on product and customer need.
Our independent representatives serve customers across the country, providing local relationships backed by a national distribution network.
Provider Medical's story began well before the company itself. Brothers Billy and Eddie Messer built a medical supply business, Medical Associates, from the ground up, growing it into a trusted supplier to hospitals across the region.
Family worked alongside them, beginning a connection to the medical distribution industry that continues with members of the family today.
After Medical Associates was sold, Billy's experience and relationships in the industry helped lay the foundation for what came next.
Billy Messer, founder.
Billy founded Provider Medical in Hendersonville, Tennessee, building the company around a simple approach: know the departments you serve, be responsive, and follow through on what you promise.
Respiratory was the foundation of the business from the beginning and remains a core part of Provider Medical today.
Family joined Billy in the business, and the company grew through long-standing relationships with hospitals and healthcare professionals.
After Billy's passing, Provider Medical continued under the leadership of the family and team that had worked alongside him.
The relationships he had built remained strong, and the experienced team behind the business kept serving the hospitals and departments that had come to rely on Provider.
Billy's grandson, Shaun David Coppock, stepped into leadership with a focus on preserving what had made Provider Medical successful while positioning the company for its next stage of growth.
That has meant investing in the existing team, expanding representation beyond Provider's traditional territories, strengthening manufacturer relationships, and building the infrastructure to support customers across the country. What was once a regional business now serves hospitals and health systems from coast to coast.
Provider Medical serves hospitals and health systems across the country as a distributor for a growing group of trusted manufacturers.
The company remains family owned, with the same emphasis on responsiveness, accessibility, and personal service that shaped the business from the beginning.
More than 20 years after Provider Medical was founded, the company continues to grow without losing sight of what its customers value most: a knowledgeable team that understands their departments, responds when they call, and follows through.
