Celebrating 15 Years of Carts and Storage for Nursing, American River Medical is reflecting with gratitude.

In 2008 Founder and President Taggart Neal found himself with an opportunity to serve a hospital cart client beyond his current role of employment. Over that time American River Medical has performed countless medical cart, workstation cart, and medical storage solution proposals, service and sales for hospital nursing staff. Primarily focused on acute care hospitals in the western US, American River Medical has enjoyed over ten sales representatives and territory managers, six college interns, and greater than fifty suppliers and manufacturers.

Contributing to its success are its unsurpassed personalized service, and its discriminating product portfolio. Word of mouth, referral, and repeat clientele continue to be the engine behind its medical cart business opportunities of service before and beyond “The quote.” American River Medical only represents the very best in medical cart and storage product lines for nursing.

“We do more than make a call and email a quote, we show up and listen, listen, and listen some more, then deliver the best carts that elevate nurses ability to provide superior patient care. That’s our role and we love it!”

The relationships formed over these years with nurses in over ten states are the greatest pride and joy of American River Medical. These relationships are based on trust, respect, industry knowledge, and level of service ARM is small enough to accept and big enough to deliver.

President and Founder Taggart Neal says, “We do more than make a call and email a quote, we show up and listen, listen, and listen some more, then deliver the best carts that elevate nurses ability to provide superior patient care. That’s our role and we love it!” When asked what has been the most valuable lesson in the fifteen years in business Neal thinks for a minute and opines, “We spent two to three years learning what we do great and what we do pretty good or okay. Learning to be disciplined and stay in our lane doing only what we do great is likely our most valuable lesson in terms of growing business by being the best we can be for hospital nursing staff. We eat, sleep and dream medical carts. We are medical carts for nursing.”

American River Medical has sold and delivered carts into over ten states where their focus areas reside in California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona. Technology has advanced their offerings to mobile computing carts, tele-health / tele-medicine carts, tablet carts, wall arm desk workstations, of course medical carts of various applications for every department in a hospital. The global pandemic COVID-19 saw the addition to ARM’s portfolio of single patient use carts, as the HEROCart™ from TAGCarts® was deployed and served various pop-up and temporary environments of care.

In 2023 American River Medical enjoys representing a small group of medical and workstation cart manufacturers and suppliers, as they focus only on bringing the most innovative and highly designed cart solutions to their existing and prospective hospital clientele. The company has received various awards and acknowledgments over the years, is in the accounts payable systems of over 750 hospitals, and is a proud diversified supplier as a Veteran Owned Small Business.

American River Medical thanks all nurses for performing a very difficult and exhausting job. We are grateful to all of our suppliers past and current, who enable us to be small part of making nurses’ work safer, more efficient, and rewarding along the way.

Cheers to 15 Years!

– Team American River Medical (Kari, Tina, Tami and Tagg)

Sacramento, CA USA

Medical cart workstation delivery “WOW” is a play on words. The client expressed they were “WOW” ‘d by my service and care to ensure their carts arrived safely and timely from the busy receiving dock to their department. Additionally they received a “WOW” as a medical cart workstation is loosely referred to as a “WOW”, or Workstation On Wheels.

Medical cart workstations are paramount to healthcare. Nurses rely on medical carts as a valuable resource tool to provide care to patients, at the beside or, “The Point of Care” (POC). The mobility, storage optimization, and access to the supplies, equipment, medication, or electronic data are what enable the care at the patient bedside.

After unboxing the carts and removing them from their pallets I grouped them together, cleaned them up, and then performed a ten point inspection. This is critical as the client often may not have time to do so or if they do it may be days or weeks from the time they are received. If something did occur during shipment from the factory we want to be sure to acknowledge that damage and process the resolution as quickly as possible.

The healthcare client often doesn’t have time to do so or if they do it may be days or weeks from the time they are received. If something did occur during shipment from the factory we want to be sure to acknowledge that damage and process the resolution as quickly as possible.

I’m grateful to to this hospital staff who put their trust in American River Medical once again for their medical cart workstation needs as well as to our supplier partner, Enovate Medical.

El Dorado Hills, CA USA – American River Medical has launched a project to officially define the commonly used word phrase “Medical Cart” for the benefit of the greater medical cart industry. Originally defined online in 2011 by American River Medical, now the project is going in front of the dictionary officials at Merriam-Webster for review and acceptance.

Project: Medical Cart Definition – Define What You Do

What: Define What You Do – After eight years in medical carts around 2011 American River Medical President, Tagg Neal, heard a motivational speech which said, “Define What You Do.” He had dedicated nearly a decade of his career to medical carts and asked the question, “What is the definition of a medical cart?” After research he found it had never been defined – a definition did not exist. He performed a process to define the word phrase “Medical Cart” which was used dozens of times a day in his life. After distillation and refinement he posted his proposed definition on this website in 2011 and it has been American River Medical’s working definition ever since:
