Hunt’s Healthcare

What Hunt’s Healthcare does

Hunt's Healthcare Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned Canadian distributor of home medical equipment founded in 1979 and headquartered at 7-109 Woodbine Downs Blvd, Toronto, Ontario. The company does not manufacture its own products; instead it operates as an authorized dealer for more than 100 medical equipment manufacturers including Pride Mobility, Golden Technologies, Sentech, ROHO, Invacare, Power Plus Mobility, 5 Minds, and Broda. Its portfolio spans mobility devices (manual, tilt and power wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, canes, crutches), accessibility equipment (ramps, stair lifts, lift chairs, accessible bedrooms, bathroom safety), therapeutic surfaces (Sentech Stage IV and 5 Minds mattress systems), rehabilitation equipment, bracing, incontinence supplies, and bariatric equipment.

The business generates revenue through direct product sales, short-term equipment rentals, an in-house service and repair operation with on-site and FaceTime technician visits, and customized procurement packages for long-term care homes and group homes. Pricing is opaque and quoted on a per-customer basis. Go-to-market is sales-led: a professional sales team (David Scheck, Nizar Issa) combined with free in-home assessments, home delivery and installation, and referrals from occupational therapists, physiotherapists, Humber College, and a network of Ontario government and charitable funding programs (ADP, ODSP, Ontario Works, WSIB, Easter Seals, March of Dimes, PC Children's Charity, MS Society).

The customer base is a hybrid of individual seniors and people with disabilities served primarily in the Greater Toronto Area, institutional buyers (long-term care homes, group homes), and clients funded through Ontario government and charitable programs. Operating geographies are limited to Ontario; no international footprint is claimed. The company is BBB Accredited, Canadian-owned, and operates with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or institutional backing.
