			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>"<em>What is the best ostomy pouching system?</em>"  It's sort of like asking the "best" clothes to wear, or the "best" hair style.  There is no "<em>best</em>".   The human body comes in many shapes and sizes, and pouching systems must must conform for a fit that provides the best security and performance for that individual's lifestyle.</p>
<p>The good news is these products exist. The bad news is we have an overwhelming selection of systems, adhesives, removers, wipes and accessories. There are literally thousands of options to choose from, and narrowing them down isn't always easy.</p>
<p>As a supplier, it is our goal to provide the best value for ostomy supplies online.  When we think of "value", we think of prices, but we also think about all of the things we do to help the end user.  We do more, and here those things that distinguish us:</p>
<h3><strong>Providing the Best Price</strong></h3>
<p>We can't talk about online shopping value without talking about price.  With free shipping for orders over $50, volume pricing options on pouches and barriers, and regular discounts through our newsletter, we have one of the most competitive offerings for ostomy supplies online.</p>
<h3><strong>Our Dedication to Service - "We'll Cut It For You"</strong></h3>
<p>"<em>Reliable shipping, phone and ticket support, blah-blah-blah.  What's so special about that?</em>"</p>
<p>We agree, these things are just common sense.  We stock our own inventory for most of our ostomy supplies and we usually ship in-stock orders the same day if ordered before 3PM CST.   We have real person support available via phone, email, and in person during business hours.</p>
<div style="float: right; margin-right: 5px;"><img src="/images/cut-it-for-you.png" alt="" width="160" height="160" /></div>
<p>But did you know our staff and nurses will cut your skin barriers for you?  Before you add any cut-to-fit barriers to your shopping basket, you can optionally tell us the opening diameter you need.  We'll save you time and effort by cutting the opening on each barrier to your exact size. You'll receive them ready to use with <strong>no hassles</strong> and at <strong>no additional charge</strong>.<br />
<br clear="all"><br />
</p>
<h3><strong>Interactive Product Catalogs</strong></h3>
<p>Sizes, colors, Pieces, HCPCS Codes, stock numbers, oh my.  Anyone who has ever flipped through a printed catalog for ostomy supplies knows how time consuming this hunt can be. There is more choice in ostomy supplies than the entire paper towel aisle at the grocery store.</p>
<p>Paper catalogs simply don't provide near the level of information for the end user, so we built a few interactive product catalogs (linked below).  You can search these catalogs to instantly find anything you need.  For instance: search for "Green" to find which pouches will match a Hollister "Green" barrier.  Search any HCPCS code to only see its products.</p>
<p>Any linked product code will jump to that product's page for a full description, photo, pricing, and any reviews from other customers who have used the product. Go ahead, give them a spin:</p>
<ul style="font-size: 20px;">
<li><a href="http://www.stlmedical.com/store/hollister-ostomy-product-catalog.html">Hollister Product Catalog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.stlmedical.com/store/coloplast-product-catalog.html">Coloplast Product Catalog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.stlmedical.com/store/convatec-product-catalog.html">Convatec Product Catalog</a></li>
</ul>
<p>It's our part to help you make the most informed decision about the products you purchase.</p>
<h3><strong>Is there anything else we can do?</strong></h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know cardiovascular disease (including heart disease and stroke) is THE leading cause of death in the United States?    One in three deaths every year, over 815,000 Americans die from cardiovascular disease, and over 2 million heart attacks occur each year.</p>
<p>The silver lining, however, is that many of the root causes can be prevented and controlled:  hypertension, high cholesterol, and smoking.    </p>
<p><strong>Did you know Medicare provides payment for the following services?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Initial Preventive Physical Exam (also known as the “Welcome to Medicare” Visit)</li>
<li>Annual Wellness Visit, including Personalized Prevention Plan Service</li>
<li>Cardiovascular Screening (total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins, and triglycerides tests)</li>
<li>Intensive Behavioral Therapy for Cardiovascular Disease</li>
<li>Tobacco-Use Cessation Counseling Services</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Keep your Ticker Strong!</strong></p>
<p>The American Heart Associations and Million Hearts provide education and information on cardiovascular disease and preventative health.   Be sure to take advantage of these free resources to educate yourself and your family on the facts about cardiovascular disease and good heart health.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every now and then, we re-evaluate how we're doing through surveys, analytics and shopping data to try to find ways to make it easier for our customers to search through our thousands of products.    In 2011, we added thousands of new products to our inventory and to say the least, our categorization of our products was becoming a little hairy.</p>
<p>As such, we've recently overhauled our product categories to make navigation more straightforward and easy.  We've simplified our homepage navigation from 26 to only 16 main categories.   We focused on making it easier to find both our most popular products as well as better associate products based on how we like to shop:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brondell provides toilet seats with some unique features, like remote-controlled bidets and air deodorizers, while quickly installing to your existing toilet seat.  We're pleased to announce that we can now provide you with some of these great products from Brondell.</p>
<p><strong>Swash Bidet Toilet Seats</strong> - Bidet toilet seats can provide numerous benefits for those with certain medical conditions that limit mobility.  Brondell's Swash are full-featured seats compatible with almost any toilet and easy to install.  Using toilet paper can be both abrasive to sensitive parts, and require mobility that is difficult for some individuals.  Swash warm water bidets provide a self-cleaning, adjustable spray controlled by remote for a cleaning experience that is both comfortable and hygienic.</p>
<p>Swash bidets are also economical for both the environment and the end user.  Each year, over 5.7 billion dollars is spent on 3.2 million tons of toilet paper made from 54 million trees in the United States alone - not including the energy needed to distribute this paper from the factory to the end user.  Bidets cut toilet paper use anywhere from 50 - 100%, utilizing the home's existing plumbing and power, and consuming only about 3 - 7 cents of electricity per day; far less energy than producing the numerous rolls of toilet paper used each year during bathroom visits.</p>

</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Breeza Deodorizing Toilet Seats</strong> - The Breeza line of toilet seats from Brondell eliminate most odors during bathroom visits by filtering the air directly from the toilet bowl through a carbon filter in the rear of the seat, and optionally freshening it with an aromatic vent as it passes through.  The Breeza Warm model also has a pleasantly warm seat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear friends, family, and loyal customers:</strong></p>
<p>While we're all pretty friendly here, there's something to be said about sitting elbow-to-elbow every day!  Our old building was bursting at the seams with inventory, offices, and staff.  </p>
<p>So over the past few months, we have been quietly and carefully migrating our offices to a nearby, more modern facility about 15 minutes away from the Kirkwood location.  And as of today, January 31st, 2011, we are open and fully operational in Fenton, MO.</p>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom:10px;">
<a href="http://blog.stlmedical.com/images/STLM-card-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/images/STLM-card-1.jpg" align="center" style="margin-right:20px;" width="210" height="138" border="1"></a> <a href="http://blog.stlmedical.com/images/STLM-card-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/images/STLM-card-2.jpg" align="center" width="210" height="138" border="1"></a></div>
<p><em>Driving in?  Keep an eye out for our new logo!</em></p>
<p>Our new address is: <strong>1664 Larkin Williams Rd.  Fenton, MO 63026</strong></p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbJjGrDQihY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbJjGrDQihY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<p><H2>Q&#038;A</H2></p>
<p><strong>Where exactly did you move?</strong></p>
<p><strong>1664 Larkin Williams Rd.  Fenton, MO 63026</strong>.  See the <a href="http://www.stlmedical.com/new">our interactive map</a>.  </p>
<p><strong>Why did you move?</strong></p>
<p>To serve you better!  Seeking out the ideal location was a very important decision not taken lightly; our new facility gives us the space we need to continue growing, provide new products, and helps us manage our existing business better.  </p>
<p>We understand that some of our most loyal, long-time customers in Kirkwood may find this less convenient.  But we are also pretty sure you'll be quite pleased with the changes we've made.  <strong>Here is what's new:</strong></p>
<blockquote><div style="float:right; margin-left:5px;"><img src="/images/office-parking.png" align="center" style="margin-right:20px;" width="210" height="138" border="1"></div>
<p>1) <strong>More Spacious Parking</strong> - Let's face it, the old parking lot was kind of a mess.  The lanes were narrow and sharp corners make it difficult to maneuver a car.  It was so close to the intersection of Lindbergh and Manchester making a left turn was dangerous, and at worst impossible.  Our new lot accommodates everyone safely and conveniently with over 24 spaces on a low-traffic road.</p>
<p>2) <strong>More Focus on Service</strong> - Our new store is built with individualized care in mind.  You can expect the same friendly service staff and nurses you know.  Our reputation is to provide personal service to every customer, and we have decades of experience in providing specialized care our customers' home care needs.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Lower Prices on Many Products</strong> - Our retail catalog matches our online catalog for all cash-and-carry sales.  This means <strong>up to 30% less</strong> on many of your favorite items.</p>
<div style="float:right; margin-left:5px;"><img src="/images/warehouse.png" align="center" style="margin-right:20px;" width="210" height="138" border="1"></div>
<p>4) <strong>Fully Stocked Warehouse</strong> - We have centralized our inventory in our new warehouse with about 4x the space as our previous location.  Our entire stock, whether online or in person, is available on premise.</p></blockquote>
<p><br clear="all"></p>
<p><strong>I purchase my supplies online.  What has changed for Online Customers?</strong></p>
<p>Nothing has changed!  In fact, if you have ordered online since September, the chances are your order was shipped out from our new location.  If you have or plan on ordering online at <a href="http://www.stlmedical.com">stlmedical.com</a>, there is, and will be, absolutely no affect on your order.</p>
