AAHSA and Lifetime Healthcare Products have tailored a powerful package for our members by allowing them unparalleled product selection along with true wholesale pricing. Lifetime, a Manufacturer Direct Wholesaler, will provide AAHSA members with over 15,000 products and services ranging from durable medical equipment to furniture and specialty products from leading manufacturers such as: Invacare, Apex Dynamics Lifts, furniture giant Thomasville Furniture, Noram Patient Solutions, Support Surface Technologies, and others.

This relationship will make new, cost-effective products available to AAHSA members. The introduction of single patient use slings and disposable transfer products will assist facilities in reducing patient cross contamination and facility costs. It also offers the Injury Reduction Program (IRP). The Lifetime Injury Reduction Program utilizes the Prevent Inc. "Get a Lift" program that is filled with tools and training to reduce transfer related injuries.

AAHSA members will find product purchasing much easier as Lifetime unveils its "SMART BUY" program. Lifetime's new program has been designed to provide the best financial support offered in the industry to non-profit, healthcare facilities. The SMART BUY program is a flexible plan that allows facilities to reduce their capital expenditures on product and equipment procurements. The low cost of the payment plan boosts operating potential while reaping 100% of the allowable tax benefits.
