MST & Associates is a hospital service company that provides sales representation and equipment relocation services to health systems, primarily along the East Coast stretching west to Chicago and New Orleans but we have done projects as far west at Arizona and California. We assist with department equipment transitions and OEM installations in a supplemental role in providing an integrated equipment relocation solution. MST has internalized resources to coordinate equipment de- installations and move outs, while also providing wholesaling and relocation services.


What makes MST & Associates so unique is our ability to deal with all facets of a facility. From the basement to the heliport, MST & Associates is capable and equipped to deal with all department needs within a given facility be it the operating room, imaging, morgue, NICU, PACU, or even the kitchen.  We will provide our due diligence to find a new home for a given facility’s surplus equipment.


Current Assessment


MST & Associates has been in business since the early nineties and is both well staffed and equipped with dozens of employees, it’s own fleet of trucks, and multiple warehouses. With an established clientele, more than 87% of our business is overseas. This is key as we are assuring that not only will their be absolutely no liability issues with a given facility’s surplus equipment but we are making sure we take little to no market share from the US based Equipment Manufacturers and their sales base.


We are truly in business to help our customer facilities’. While other companies want only what suits them or the finest and newest expensive equipment, MST & Associates is ready to handle all facets. Whether it’s anesthesia machines, surgical instruments, exam lights, or hospital beds, we are trained and capable of tackling the job.


*In large equipment transitions and move outs, MST & Associates will provide onsite resources (trucks, personnel) to assist with larger projects.


MST & Associates Terms


MST & Associates can offer 2 solutions for the current inventory of its customer facilities:


Lot Valuation:

MST & Associates can offer a lot valuation for all items designated for sale by a given facility.


Sales Contract:

MST & Associates can offer our standard sales terms to sell and relocate equipment. All items will be inventoried by serial # prior to removal. Our responsibility moving forward will be to provide the hospital or facility a spreadsheet by the 15th of each month updating you on the status of your inventory; by the 22nd of each month the hospital will receive a check for items sold.


Hospital First.


MST & Associates is not just a great equipment sales team, but also a company with a “hospital first” service and attitude. Within days of contracting our service, we will have our trucks and team available to visit your facility to inventory and remove all items as requested. Whether it is Materials, Biomed, Surgery, Facilities, or a vendor who needs onsite resources to assist with an equipment transition- we will be there.


At no cost to the facility, MST will remove and transport all items to our warehouse in Petersburg, VA to begin our sales and marketing efforts for your organization.  That is our “hospital first” workflow and mission as your preferred equipment dealership.


Below are the different steps we take to assess and evaluate your equipment designated for sale to maximize efficiency in removing and relocating medical equipment:


MST & Associates Value Analysis Hierarchy for equipment:


  • Can this equipment be sold to a rural hospital or clinic overseas?
  • Can this equipment be donated to a charity?
  • Does this equipment contain any precious metals that should be recycled?
  • IF criteria are not met- equipment is ethically disposed


Step by Step Descriptions:


Relocate

Equipment that has a market value will be sold under the MST & Associates dealer contract. Under this representation agreement, MST & Associates is required to give the facility’s Material Management designee a report on the 15th of each month, updating the hospital on the status of the removed equipment. By the 22nd of each month, MST & Associates must facilitate payment to the facility for items sold. (Alternatively, we can honor our lot valuation estimate)


Donate

Equipment that we cannot identify a new home for will be offered to charities. The current charity that MST & Associates works closely with is Community Coalition for Haiti, based out of Fairfax, VA (www.cchaiti.org). CCH is a wonderful local organization that has done so much great work in Haiti, in particular with their post earthquake aid initiatives. We are happy to interface with any other charities as requested.


Recycle

Equipment that has no market value or use to charitable organizations will be checked for precious metals including stainless steel, aluminum, alloys, or copper. These will be recycled accordingly.


Discard

MST & Associates will safely and ethically dispose of equipment that has no market value, usefulness to charities, or does not contain precious metals.


Summary


This we will provide several benefits to customer facilities. We can:


  1. Reduce solid waste – when MST & Associates sells, donates, or recycles your equipment we can report the equipment tonnage figures to Materials Management to help with your green initiative. 
  2. Provide an expanded revenue channel – MST & Associates has impressed many of our standing clients with our sales performance in the past. Equipment will be relocated with a great return to the hospital. 
  3. Offer equipment to those in need – whether it is a rural clinic, developing organization, or overseas customer- medical equipment is widely needed and appreciated.
