Hanger, Inc., is a leading provider of orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) patient care, as well as a distributor of O&P services and products. Each Hanger Partner Award winner is carefully selected by members of Hanger’s clinical and operational teams, and the awards recognize exceptional supplier partners for their role in manufacturing products used to deliver orthotic and prosthetic care and empower patients’ lives every day.
The Operational Performance award recognizes a partner that outperformed industry benchmarks in quality, efficiency, and cost containment.
“Thuasne was chosen to receive the award due to our continuous collaboration with Hanger Clinic, dedication to providing acceptable service levels and commitment to achieving exceptional outcomes; financially, and most importantly, clinically.” stated Kurt Townson, VP of Operations.
