Some of you don’t want another buyer’s guide — you want someone to help you actually provision the unit. That’s what this is. The same crews who got supplies through hospital loading docks in 2020 will help you scope, vet, and source what your floor needs, then hand you off to LAC Medical Supplies to place the order.
Who this is for: unit managers, supply coordinators, and breakroom committees
If you’re the person who decides what PPE, footwear, breakroom equipment, or nutrition supplies your unit buys — or you’re on the committee that does — this program is built for you. We work with the people who sign off, not around them.
How it works — from the same crews who provisioned hospitals during the pandemic
We start with what your unit already runs short on. We translate that into a spec — standards, par levels, vendor options — and we don’t recommend anything we wouldn’t put in front of our own crews. Then you order through LAC with a clear list instead of guesswork.
What we help you source: PPE, footwear, breakroom equipment, nutrition systems
Everything we cover on this site: guideline-grade PPE, nursing footwear and compression, high-capacity breakroom and refrigeration equipment, and the clinical-nutrition supply chain. One conversation, the whole line equipped.
Vetting and standards: how we choose what we recommend
We check the markings, not the marketing — NIOSH numbers, ASTM and AAMI levels, ENFit compliance, commercial-duty ratings. If it doesn’t meet the standard we’d demand for ourselves, it doesn’t make the list.
Working alongside your LAC Medical Supplies account
We’re volunteers, not a storefront. The buying happens at LAC, our trusted medical-supply partner. If you already have an LAC account, we slot right in; if you don’t, we get you started.
Get a provisioning consultation
Tell us your unit size, your shift pattern, and what you keep running short on. We’ll come back with a provisioning plan and a sourcing list you can take straight to LAC.
Feed the Line is run by frontline-support volunteers, not a storefront — when you’re ready to actually buy the gear we cover, we send you straight to LAC Medical Supplies, our trusted medical-supply partner. Start with their PPE & staff-protection hub at lac.us/ppe-supplies/, or talk to LAC about bulk provisioning for your whole unit. Same mission we started with in 2020: keep the people on the line protected and supplied.
