The Maryland Advantage: Why Surgery Centers Are Choosing Local Quality Over National Contracts
By: Mike Diiorio, Vice President, OEM Medical Solutions
Running an Ambulatory Surgery Center in Maryland is a balancing act. You are constantly weighing clinical excellence against the reality of rising costs and reimbursement changes. Every decision you make, from staffing to the supply chain, is about maintaining that delicate equilibrium.
For decades, the standard playbook was to rely on massive, multinational manufacturers for every repair, service contract, and capital purchase. But the healthcare landscape is evolving, and Maryland is helping lead the way.
Across the nation, we are seeing a migration. Surgery centers are moving away from restrictive manufacturer contracts and partnering with Independent Service Organizations (ISOs).
Why? Because administrators are realizing that the "big box" model, where support is dispatched from three states away, simply cannot compete with the speed and personal investment of a local partner.
At OEM Medical Solutions, we are proud to be that partner.
The Quality of a Controlled Footprint
We are based right here in Rosedale, MD. While other companies try to conquer the whole map, we made a strategic decision to keep our footprint intentional.
We service Maryland, DC, Delaware, Northern VA, and Southeastern PA exclusively.
We keep our territory tight for a reason: Control. By staying local, we control the quality of every repair, every PM, and every interaction. We aren't managing subcontractors across the country; we are managing our own team of experts right here at home. This allows us to maintain a standard of excellence that often gets lost in larger corporate structures.
We have an open-door policy. We invite any administrator or clinical director to visit our Rosedale facility. Come meet the technicians, see our repair lab, and watch exactly how we handle your equipment. We want you to see the operation firsthand.
The Power of "One Call"
We know your time is limited. You shouldn't have to manage a chaotic vendor list with one contact for scopes, another for anesthesia, and a third for maintenance inspections.
We believe in the power of consolidation. By partnering with OEM Medical Solutions, you gain a single, accountable point of contact for the health of your entire facility:
-
Surgical Repair: Expert, component-level repair for flexible and rigid endoscopes, surgical cameras, power equipment, and ultrasound probes.
-
Biomedical Support: From pumps to patient monitors, our team keeps all of your medical devices patient-ready.
-
Facility Compliance: We perform Full Facility Preventive Maintenance (PM) inspections, ensuring you are prepared for surveys.
-
Anesthesia Service: We maintain a dedicated division for GE Anesthesia repair, PM, and service, ensuring your most critical OR assets are maintained to the highest standard.
Unlocking Capital: A Smarter Way to Buy
Beyond service, we are helping Maryland facilities rethink their capital budgets. The cost of brand-new equipment from manufacturers is often prohibitive.
We offer a different path: Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) medical devices. Whether you need high-end endoscopy towers or surgical video systems, our inventory is rigorously tested, certified, and available at significant savings compared to manufacturer pricing. We also match manufacturer warranties so you can be confident in what you are buying.
We also champion the "Circular Economy." That older equipment sitting in your storage room is tied up capital. We actively buy and sell pre-owned devices. We can assess your retired assets and offer a check or a trade-in credit toward future repairs or upgrades.
We take sustainability seriously. When you upgrade, your retired assets don't just get thrown in a landfill; they are given a second life. We prioritize repurposing equipment for developing nations, nursing schools, and charitable missions rather than sending it to a landfill. We even provide detailed Environmental Impact Reports, so you can see exactly how many pounds of waste you diverted by choosing us for your equipment disposition.
Logistics: We Handle the Heavy Lifts
Finally, we solve the operational headaches that often go unspoken. Whether you are renovating a suite or moving to a new building, you shouldn't have to hire a generic moving company to handle sensitive medical technology.
We offer specialized logistics, moving, and climate-controlled storage for high-end medical equipment. Because we are local, we handle the transport ourselves with white-glove care. We will handle the whole move, from your sensitive equipment to your offices.
Gratitude for the Opportunity
We know you have choices when it comes to your equipment, and we do not take that lightly. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside so many of the region’s top surgery centers.
We aren't just a business; we are your neighbors. Our goal is simple: to empower your center to operate more efficiently so you can focus entirely on what matters most, patient care.
Come see the difference for yourself. If you are ready to explore what a local, high-quality partnership can do for your facility, we would love to host you in Rosedale.
