December 5, 2022 – Dennis Clock got an early start in the med/surg industry, watching how his father and mother owned and operated an independent distribution business. One of his father’s key tenants was contributing to industry efforts in government policy, and the overall collaborative efforts among healthcare stakeholders.
“You put in the time because that’s the right thing to do, and you do it because it helps strengthen the industry that you’re in,” said Dennis Clock, president and owner of Clock Medical Supply. The Health Industry Distributors Association (HIDA) named Clock the recipient of the 2022 John F. Sasen Leadership Award. The Sasen Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership, commitment, and service to the healthcare products distribution industry and HIDA.
Clock served two years on the HIDA Board of Directors, from 2012 to 2014. Previously, he chaired the Post-Acute Advisory Council. He is currently a member of HIDA’s policy-focused Advocacy Council, AMS Sales Training Users Group, and Independent Distributors Leadership Council.
Clock shared with Repertoire what it meant to receive the award, industry initiatives he’s proud of participating in, and what 2022 has been like as an independent distributor.
