Our Story

More Than 80 Years in Healthcare Distribution

Mohawk Healthcare has grown alongside the healthcare community it serves — expanding from a regional equipment supplier into one of the largest independent medical and surgical supply distributors in the country.

1946

Our Beginnings

The Mohawk Hospital Equipment Company was founded in 1946 to fulfill the medical supply and equipment needs of Central New York’s Mohawk Valley. With a decisive focus on quality, value, and efficiency, customers received cost-effective pricing along with dedicated and reliable service.

As upstate New York’s healthcare community grew, so did its need for a wider range of medical products, services, and support. The company was built on hard work and integrity, and rapidly grew under the leadership and guidance of Jack Spellman.

Then

A Local Company With a Bigger Purpose

From the start, Mohawk Healthcare focused on helping local providers get the products they needed with the type of personal service that larger, distant suppliers could not match.

Through the Years

A Look Back at Mohawk’s History

Catalogs, branded products, events, signage, and delivery vehicles all tell the story of a company that has continued to evolve while staying rooted in local service.
