A community-minded business
For five years in a row, Healthgear Medical & Safety has been voted Best Medical Supplier in the Sault by public opinion polls. Healthgear Medical & Safety is an authorized vendor for WSIB, social agencies, NIHB, and can direct bill to most insurance companies where applicable. They can do home and hospital visits when needed.
Healthgear Medical & Safety is a community-minded company. During the pandemic, Jim and staff were able to get thousands of dollars of supplies donated to non-profits right here in Sault Ste Marie and abroad. When hospitals and nursing homes had difficulty finding fair pricing on PPE supplies, Healthgear Medical & Safety staff were able to source these items from the USA. They had sufficient supplies for the public always and never ran out, while keeping the prices fair and offering free delivery.
Healthgear Medical & Safety is here to serve the people of Sault Ste Marie and Algoma District.
They are open Monday to Friday from 8:30-5:30 and Saturday from 9-1, and also offer free delivery anywhere within the Algoma area. For after hours, call 705-257-8049 for emergency appointments or fittings. They are located across from the Memorial Gardens, at 262 Queen Street East.
