ACU-Serve and VGM Partnership

VGM & Associates has entered a strategic partnership with ACU-Serve, a leading provider of outsourced services for operational needs in the Home Medical Equipment (HME) sector.

From ACU-Serve’s perspective, Jim Knight, Partner and CEO of ACU-Serve, shared his excitement about the partnership, “We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with VGM, a leader in post-acute healthcare. Together, we’ll forge strong industry relationships, driving innovation. This marks a long-awaited milestone, reflecting our commitment to exceptional service.
