Raleigh, NC, ACHC is pleased to announce that Sizewise Rentals, L.L.C., a medical equipment provider
specializing in bariatrics, has chosen ACHC as their accreditation agency.
Since 1996, Sizewise has been manufacturing and distributing medical equipment and products. With
over 60 nationwide service locations, Sizewise prides itself on superior service in combination with
quality products for the long term care, homecare, and acute care settings. Sizewise manufactures its
products in the USA and carries the widest breadth of equipment available for both rental and sales.
The company’s products include bariatric, and non-bariatric, beds designed to promote rehabilitation and

non-bariatric, air support surfaces that address patient comfort and clinical concerns; options are available
for full body lateral rotation, percussion/vibration, pulsation, alternation, and low air loss therapies.
Ancillary items manufactured by Sizewise include mobility and transport products which assist and
enhance patient mobilization while reducing workers’ compensation claims associated with patient
handling.

population, as well as those who care for them, Sizewise delivers Real Therapy for Real People™.

honoree.
