Physicians Sales & Service

PSS World Medical, originally founded as Physicians Sales & Service, was a leading American distributor of medical supplies, equipment, and pharmaceutical products specifically tailored for office-based physicians. The company operated through two primary segments: the Physician Business, which served primary care and specialty practices, and the Elder Care Business, which provided supplies to long-term care facilities. PSS was recognized for its high-touch service model and extensive distribution network across the United States. In February 2013, the company was acquired by McKesson Corporation for approximately $2.1 billion, integrating its operations into McKesson Medical-Surgical to enhance their market share in the alternate-site healthcare segment.
