WilBea Medical Equipment, founded by Richard Bean, provides superior equipment and service to hospice organizations and the patients in their care.
While working as a Long Term Care Facility Administrator, Richard became frustrated with the poor level of service provided to hospice patients by durable medical equipment companies. He believed patients at the end of their life deserved exceptional care and that WilBea Medical Equipment could set the standard for DME service to hospice patients with excellence and compassion. With Richard’s business experience and the equipment experience of his assistant administrator, they felt they had the right solution. This dream became a reality with the acquisition of the company’s first contract and the opening of the initial WilBea office in Belton, Texas in 2003.
Since its humble beginnings, the company has grown to serve over 2,000 patients daily in four states through nine offices and over 70 dedicated employees. Richard Bean along with his wife of over thirty years, Lynda, continues to head the family business with the same ideals on which the company was founded. Wilbea Medical Equipment locations include offices in Texas, Kansas, West Virginia, and Rhode Island.
Wilbea Medical Equipment continues to plan for additional growth with like-minded hospice partners while cultivating current hospice partner relationships in order to provide the WilBea standard of superior service.

It means that service is a guarantee regardless of job title. Problems can be solved by multiple positions and our entire company is our customer service department. Many of our upper management staff have started with us as drivers. We promote from within and reward our staff dedicated to the Wilbea mission.
