Our Story

HOMELINK began as an idea.

An idea in the mind of a visionary with a simple philosophy: coordinate outstanding home health care services for people to recover and experience a higher quality of life. Founder, Van G. Miller, understood that community-based HME providers, while often overlooked in the health care industry, were key to achieving this vision.

In 1986, Van developed a solution to help community-based providers compete with the larger, national HME providers. He created a buying group – The VGM Group – devoted to providing access to key manufacturers and discount prices for independent businesses in the HME industry.

With the same spirit investors showed him, Van entrusted Dave Kazynski to bring one of his entrepreneurial ideas to life. Thus began HOMELINK in 1993. Dave partnered with Brent Hanson to begin HOMELINK. Armed with a couple phones, a few sheets of paper, and roughly-drawn network coverage maps, they painstakingly spread the word that HOMELINK was the connector between quality providers and payers.

HOMELINK’s 500+ employee owners connect over 1,200 payers. These payers are connected to more than 36,000 core providers and an additional 72,000 community-based providers in our database, giving the highest quality of care to more than 30 million
covered lives.

Today, the HOMELINK story is stronger than ever thanks to a commitment to providing unparalleled customer service and unsurpassed value to its loyal customers.
