This new website launched, The Committee to Save Independent Home Medical Equipment suppliers (or CSIHME), to help achieve its mission:

The Committee to Save Independent Home Medical Equipment suppliers (or CSIHME) is a non-profit business league formed by independent HME providers for the purpose of advancing the agenda, needs, and value of the independent HME provider community through focused lobbying efforts and public relations activities. In short, CSIHME wants to give a voice to the people who have committed their lives to helping others through Home Medical Equipment and supplies.

The site offers information about the group, and the efforts of its lobbyist and publicist. It also provides a method for people to help subsidize those efforts.
