Academy Medical’s goal is to provide sales channels, via contracts, to appropriate medical and surgical vendors, ultimately creating a streamlined, more efficient process for government purchasing agents.

When looking for businesses to collaborate with in order to provide best-in-class technology to hospitals and physicians, Ryan Isham, Vice President of Med/Surg at Academy Medical, said, “It is our goal to partner with manufacturers that can provide the solutions, currently and in the future, that can help us provide value to the government while increasing the level of care veterans, active duty military, and their families receive. Through our partnership with Astura, we will be able to further deliver on that goal.”
