Our Evolution
Specialty Medical Equipment was co-founded by Jeffrey A. Goldshine, BS, LNHA, and Douglas B. Noble, ESQ. in 2001.

The principals have over 50 years of healthcare experience focused on development, management and operations here in New England.

Most recently, the partners were principle share holders of Commonwealth Communities ("CC"), a MA- based healthcare operator of chronic hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and assisted living residences. Over it's thirteen year existence, Commonwealth Communities was recognized as a leading provider of these services in MA. On February 28, 2006, CC's hospitals, nursing homes and ALF's were acquired by Kindred, a national public healthcare organization.

Our Business
Specialty Medical Equipment stands behind a full range of products, services, support and experienced people. We provide DME, wound care and respiratory services that address the needs of every patient. In an industry struggling to balance quality care with the realities of cost constraints, we believe that we can provide both cost-effective solutions and high-quality service that exceed our customers’ expectations.

Our equipment is rented, leased and sold to over 400 healthcare institutions and hospice agencies across New England and New York. Our inventory includes therapeutic support surfaces, patient transfer systems, bariatric solutions, low and long beds, wound care products, CPM devices, venous compression systems, respiratory equipment, enclosure systems and more. All of our equipment, expertly maintained in our seven warehouses, is delivered clean, inspected and in patient-ready condition.
