Independent Living Systems Fully Licensed to Provide Home Medical Equipment

Miami, FL, May 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independent Living Systems (ILS), a leading provider of health care and social services to complex populations in the Medicare, Medicaid, and Dual-Eligible markets, is excited to announce that it has been licensed as a Home Medical Provider, meaning that it can provide critical durable medical equipment for the home to partnering health care organizations and the general public.

"We are thrilled to be able to offer these additional services to our patients," said Nestor Plana, Chairman and CEO of Independent Living Systems. "Our goal has always been to provide the best possible care to those in need, and this license will enable us to do just that."

The ability to provide home medical devices further ILS' mission to help allow people to "age in place" and continue to live independently for as long as possible.
