The Chair and founder of Heather Medical, Diane Shilling, came up with this business idea due to a personal life changing experience. When a gas main exploded, it left her with some mobility impairments. Due to the 1992 accident, Shilling had to leave her nursing career, but decided to create Heather Medical. During rehabilitation, she was tired of the standard medical equipment and decided to implement her creativity by decorating the equipment. She received so many compliments on her canes that she started her own business. She wanted people to see the person instead of just the disability. And no doubt, that these products make people with disabilities feel better about their selves and makes them more approachable.

So, if you are ready to give your equipment a little lift, check out Heather Medical.
