-: So, my name is Ryan Brown
and I am the DME Supervisor
of the home medical equipment division for ProMedica.
So, DME stands for durable medical equipment.
So, basically what my role is for that
is I'm overseeing day to day operations at our division,
so, any patient that would be discharged from a hospital
that ProMedica owns or any of the surrounding hospitals
that would send us orders,
we deal with all those discharges
so that we can get patients home and out of the hospital
as quickly as possible.
And then, we continue care with them,
do everything that we need to do, as far as,
getting them supplied with any equipment
that they need to take care of themselves,
whether it's oxygen, whether it's hospital beds
or somethin' simple like a walker.
