Keeping equipment healthy for patient care.

About Us

Our Purpose

We exist to reduce downtime with quality repairs 
to get your equipment back into service.

A History of Service, Quality, and Speed

We were founded on service and a people-matter culture. Since our beginning 1989, we have prioritized relational service, quality work, and rapid turnaround time. This focus resulted in BMES pioneering our industry, moving from a field service repair model with fewer customers to now serving a nationwide customer-base through our medical equipment repair depot.

Strategically Located

Our national repair center, located in Louisville, KY, is minutes away from the National UPS hub, which ensures that we receive shipments by 10:30 a.m. each workday so that we can provide our customers with fast turnaround on their repairs.
