EGAN Medical Employees Earn Extra Paid Day Off

EGAN Medical Employees Earn Extra Paid Day Off!

By: EGAN Medical Management Team

EGAN Medical Equipment & Supply employees have been working extra-hard since our recent opening of our Long Beach, Mississippi distribution center to compliment our Covington, Louisiana office.

As a gesture of gratitude for all they've done for EGAN Medical, management has declared an early start to the July 4 holiday, offering all EGAN employees the choice of taking off Wednesday July 3 in addition to Thursday July 4. July 3 will count as a paid work day for any/all employees who decide to get an early start to their Independence Day celebrations.

Happy Independence Day from EGAN Medical

As a result of this, email and phone support may be unavailable from the close of business Tuesday July 2 until the opening of business Friday July 5. If you are unable to get a response during this time period, don't panic. Management will be doing its best during this time to respond to as many emails as possible, however we may not be able to reply to all emails sent after the close of business Tuesday until Friday morning.

EGAN Medical wishes all customers and employees a happy, safe and fulfilling Independence Day, and we look forward to the mid-week celebration of freedom, as well as to rejoining our fellow colleagues on Friday in resuming our normal business hours. All orders placed Wednesday and Thursday will ship Friday.

Thanks to all EGAN employees and customers for making us the company we are today! Happy Independence Day and a sincere thanks from the entire EGAN Medical family to all who serve or have ever served!

Happy Mardi Gras from EGAN Medical!

EGAN Medical Equipment & Supply would like to extend our best wishes to all celebrating Mardi Gras this carnival season!

As much as we'd like to be in the Big Easy enjoying the parades, marching bands and adult beverages, EGAN Medical will be open-for-business Mardi Gras day (Fat Tuesday, February 12, 2013). Our customer service representatives will be available during normal business hours for all of Mardi Gras day and most of Ash Wednesday. We will be permitting staff to take off for one hour tomorrow (Wednesday, February 13, 2013) to observe Ash Wednesday traditions for those staff who wish to do so.

However, we do not anticipate everyone leaving simultaneously, and all orders for both Tuesday the 12th and Wednesday the 13th will ship on-time, as scheduled as though these were normal business days for the Gulf South region.Once again, EGAN Medical would like to wish all of our customers and employees a happy, safe and fulfilling Mardi Gras 2013. 

Orders will be shipping from our Mississippi distribution center near Gulfport and Biloxi due to USPS Post Office closures in and around the New Orleans area including but not limited to St. Tammany Parish on Tuesday, February 12.

Long Beach (MS) New Home to EGAN Medical E-Commerce Fulfillment Center

EGAN Medical, a leading supplier of medical supplies, equipment, orthopedic, maternity care and other health care products has announced the grand opening of the company's newest addition, a shipping and e-commerce order fulfillment center located in downtown Long Beach, Mississippi. Unlike the company's long-established brick-and-mortar storefront in Covington, LA, the new facility will not be open to walk-in traffic. Rather, its purpose will be to serve as staging-grounds for the processing and shipping of orders, as well as a customer service center for internet-based shoppers. The medical equipment and supply firm's Covington storefront will remain open to walk-ins, while the Mississippi location will specialize in assisting online customers, promptly shipping online orders and managing the company's e-commerce inventory.

Long Beach was chosen as the location for the firm's second location due to its scenic beauty, warm, sunny weather and its proximity to the beach itself. EGAN Medical executive director Peter Egan has an outspoken fondness of the beach, sun and fishing, and Long Beach offered enough of all three to lure him away from Louisiana to the Mississippi coast for his personal residence. Rather than continue to commute three hours each day round-trip, Egan decided to place a stronger emphasis on e-commerce, opening the order fulfillment center just a four-minute drive from his home. This constitutes a dramatic transition in the firm's core business model, representing a brazen attempt to convert from being a strategically located brick-and-mortar medical equipment company located next to St. Tammany Parish Hospital to being a competitor on the national stage and on the internet.

Despite the company's increased emphasis on online sales and the opening of the new Mississippi coast facility, the changes do not amount to a move away from Louisiana or away from servicing the medical equipment and supply needs of Washington and St. Tammany Parish residents. A company spokesman issued a statement assuring Louisiana residents that the medical equipment store they've come to depend on will remain open for the foreseeable future, and that the company has no imminent plans for a permanent move, nor any plans to close the Louisiana storefront.

As always, shipping is free for Louisiana residents who select 'Free In-Store Pickup' from the shipping menu. Customers who choose to take advantage of this offer are asked to refrain from actually driving to the store to pick up their purchases. Virtually all orders placed online are shipped out within 1-2 business days of purchase, and customers who buy online will receive their items by mail or other home (or business) delivery. Across-the-board free shipping offer is only valid for residents of Louisiana and coastal Mississippi (counties which border the Gulf of Mexico).

Customers outside of Louisiana and Mississippi may still order online via the Egan Medical website, and Egan still offers shipping to all 50 U.S. states and Canada.
