From a small warehouse in Louisville to serving healthcare facilities in over 150 countries, DRE Medical has been a trusted partner in delivering quality medical equipment for over 40 years.
DRE Medical was built on a simple idea: every healthcare facility — regardless of size or budget — deserves access to quality medical equipment. Co-founders Charlie Vittitow and Mike Spencer started the company in 1984 from a Louisville warehouse with their first product: a refurbished infant incubator.
Today, DRE is a full-service medical equipment provider offering new, certified refurbished, and rental equipment to hospitals, surgery centers, and clinics around the world. As part of DASA Healthcare Holdings Corp., we combine decades of hands-on expertise with the resources to serve healthcare at every scale.
