VGM Group Inc. is excited to announce that Dan Bunting has joined the team as a senior advisor. In this role, Bunting will help VGM continue to develop long-term strategies to help promote and support its customers and the HME industry as a whole.
Bunting has been in the HME industry for over 40 years. With experience in nearly every aspect of HME, including product development and manufacturing, Bunting has been a trusted voice in the industry for decades. Most recently, he served as COO and strategic advisor to the CEO with AdaptHealth, a medical equipment provider whose network includes over 600 locations across 47 states. He also holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Dubuque and an MBA from the University of Iowa.
“I don’t think there’s anyone in the United States who knows more about our industry than Dan,” said VGM Group CEO Jeremy Stolz. “The healthcare industry, and HME in particular, is constantly evolving. And I am thrilled to have Dan’s experience and expertise with us as we continue to shape the future of VGM and the industries we serve.”
Born and raised in Manchester, Iowa, less than an hour east of VGM’s headquarters, Bunting has been close to VGM throughout his life and career. Bunting first met Van Miller, VGM’s founder, while attending the University of Iowa, an encounter that would help launch Bunting’s career in the industry.
At that time, Miller had an HME business, where Bunting worked for two years while getting his degree. Later, when Bunting set out to start his own HME business in Iowa City, Miller and a few of his friends helped finance it. Bunting’s HME business, which sold to Rotech in 1996, was one of VGM’s earliest members.
“I have dedicated my entire career to helping advance the HME industry, and I’m honored to continue that work with VGM,” Bunting said. “VGM, in many ways, feels like a return home for me. I am excited to do my part to help VGM in its mission to make a difference—both in the industry and in the communities it calls home.”
