Source Medical History
In 1997 Allegiance Healthcare Canada, Inc and MDS Ingram and Bell Inc. combined
their Canadian healthcare products and distribution businesses to form Source Medical
Corporation. The new company, created to address the changing needs of the healthcare
profession, now serves hospitals, laboratories and other healthcare facilities across
Canada.
Source Medical was designed to provide customers with the innovative products and
distribution services they need to deliver better care to more people. Source Medical
set benchmarks for introducing and providing medical products and services to healthcare
providers and laboratories – efficiently and effectively.
By improving the way we manage and integrate products through our supply chain and
working with a full range of leading healthcare product manufacturers, Source Medical
effectively helps clients manage their costs and deliver better care.
In November of 2005, Cardinal Health acquired MDS’s interest, and Source Medical
is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal Health U.S., operating as an independent
entity in the Canadian marketplace.
