About Horizon Health
Who We Are
Horizon Health is made up of a group of professional and experienced individuals who have been in the healthcare field for over a decade. We take pride in helping others and providing exceptional service. Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, Horizon Health provides same day service to 50+ surgery centers nationally. Horizon Health provides superior service to our customers, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and professionalism. We are committed to building strong, lasting relationships with our customers, and working together to achieve success. We have consistently provided high-quality products and services to our customers, and have earned a reputation for excellence in the market.
What We Do
Our goal is to provide cost elimination services and savings to surgery centers. We provide products ranging from DVT prevention to post-operative therapy. We are an extension of your surgery center and will reduce your staff workload. One of our local team members will be available 24/7 to manage your inventory in-person, be available for last-minute needs, and provide postoperative care and compassion to your patients.
Why We Do It
We realized that there is low awareness of the prevalence of DVTs affecting patients in the surgery center space. After learning this, we decided to do something about it. We created a program that benefits the facility as well as the patient. Through our program, we provide innovative products that aid in the prevention of DVTs and ensure the continuum of care after surgery. Patients can go back to doing what they love with peace of mind.

Our Story
How It Started

In 2020, at the height of COVID, Horizon Health was born. Although it was not the ideal time to start a business, they managed to overcome the obstacles facing them and continued to push forward. After three long years, Horizon Health has created a reputation for being a trusted and reliable company that puts their customer needs first.
