"How we got here..."?

Now a third-generation, independently owned, and very independently operated company, Grogan's was started by the grandfather and father of the current president.  In our third location in 47 years, now with 55 employees and a 68,000 square feet facility including a 6,000 square foot showroom, Grogan's is one of the largest surviving independent distributors to multiple market healthcare customers in the U.S.

Grogan's has survived Medicare, Medicaid, managed care, the oil embargo, the latex glove shortage, the Balanced Budget Act, the dot-com boom and bust, and the ongoing consolidation of both customers and competitors.

Throughout our history, Grogan's has enjoyed success because of a few simple things: 

- We have kept talented, honest people that have extensive knowledge and experience

- Those talented people have earned the trust and confidence of customers whose supply problems we can usually solve.

- Honesty and integrity in daily decisions supports both our staff and our customers and keeps us out of trouble with the government and our shareholders.

Oh, no, not another "Mission Statement"

Grogan's mission is to optimize our role as a vital link between healthcare products, providers and consumers;

To market the highest quality and most comprehensive array of healthcare products in Kentucky with a level of concern for customers that promotes the most appropriate yet cost-effective product;

While coordinating the resources necessary to commit to service levels which will never compromise the quality of care that each and every healthcare consumer deserves;

All at a price which is consistent with the total value delivered and the profit level required to sustain a rewarding and responsible working environment for all the individuals and families that are a part of our company.
