Owens & Minor, Inc. is a healthcare logistics and supply chain company headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia (in the Richmond area). The business traces its formal founding to 1882 in Richmond, Virginia, where it began as a pharmaceutical wholesale and retail operation.
Over time, the company expanded from its original pharmacy roots into a broad healthcare services and products platform built to support care delivery at scale. Its operating footprint is anchored in the United States with a sizable distribution network and additional capabilities that support customers beyond a single region.
Owens & Minor focuses on moving, managing, and supplying essential healthcare products—helping providers and patients receive what they need across clinical settings. This includes healthcare logistics and supply-chain services as well as product design, sourcing, and manufacturing support tied to everyday patient care needs.
A defining part of the company’s reputation is its “hospital-to-home” orientation—supporting both institutional care and home-based care pathways. Within its broader platform, brands such as Apria and Byram reflect that home and direct-to-patient focus, serving people who manage chronic conditions and ongoing therapy needs at home.
