John Baumann, president and CEO of Midmark Corporation, issued this statement on March 24.
Now more than ever, we can all appreciate the importance of coming together during times of crisis. As we are all altering our lives to limit the advancement of COVID-19 to keep our families, teammates and customers safe, we also recognize that Midmark has a vital role to play in our country’s response.
Midmark provides essential equipment, technology and services that our customers need to diagnose and treat patients. To manage this safely, Midmark created a dedicated COVID-19 task force to monitor developments of facilities, supply chains and required guidelines.
In supporting these guidelines, including Ohio, California, Illinois and Michigan “stay-at-home” orders, Midmark has developed a plan that allows a high percentage of teammates to work remotely. This is something new for most of our teammates, but we are staying connected and supporting one another every day.
With this, Midmark is considered an essential business for the medical, dental and animal health industries and will have an operational presence in mission-critical locations that provide the products needed in healthcare facilities.
Our priorities revolve around the well-being of our teammates and to safely serve our customers during this time of need. Within our offices and production areas that remain operational, we are taking the necessary precautions to practice social distancing, disinfection practices, the monitoring of teammate temperatures and providing clinical education to minimize the risk of COVID-19 exposure.
Today, our healthcare customers are strained and Midmark is here for them. As we follow state and national guidelines, we will provide support for essential products and services in emergency situations. Please understand that we could have limited availability for non-essential services during this time.
Midmark is dedicated to maintaining production in this fight and we will do our very best to serve our customers and channel partners through this difficult time. I have never been more proud to be a part of Midmark as our teammates are working tirelessly to take care of each other and our customers. We are in this together.
