ARDEN, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Aeroflow Health has been named the 2025 Home Medical Equipment (HME) Provider of the Year, earning top honors at the HME News Business Summit held this week in Cleveland, Ohio.
This is the second time the Asheville-based healthcare company has received the award, which recognizes excellence in patient care, innovation and industry leadership. Aeroflow first won the honor in 2017.
“We are deeply honored to receive the HME Provider of the Year award for the second time,” Aeroflow Health CEO Casey Hite said in a news release. “This recognition reflects our entire team’s dedication to transforming how patients access and experience healthcare. From our earliest days bootstrapping the company, a singular mission has driven us: putting patients first through innovation, empowerment and genuine care.”
Founded in 2001, Aeroflow Health has grown from a small regional provider into a national health care company employing more than 1,100 professionals across 35 states. The company serves more than a million patients each year and partners with more than 1,000 insurance plans.
Aeroflow’s integrated model combines home medical equipment delivery with clinical support, including virtual consultations, educational programs and mental health resources. Its proprietary technology platform allows patients to verify insurance coverage instantly and shop for products covered under their plan, with multilingual support available.
The 2025 HME Excellence Awards judges praised Aeroflow for balancing growth with its community-minded mission.
“What distinguishes Aeroflow is their ability to maintain an innovative, entrepreneurial spirit even as they’ve grown,” Miriam Lieber, president of Lieber Consulting LLC, said in the news release. “They have never lost sight of their roots or their core mission, and their dedication to community service remains unwavering.”
Jonathan Sadock, managing partner and CEO of Paragon Ventures, added that Aeroflow’s use of digital platforms and patient-centered communication “simplifies patient access to essential products and services.”
Aeroflow processes more than 3 million orders annually through its Don Hite Fulfillment Center in Asheville and attributes much of its business growth to referrals from patients, providers and insurance partners.
