The last few years have shown us that the healthcare infrastructure in the United States is nothing, if not fragile. Regardless of how prepared we may feel, it’s still far too easy for a strain to be put on the system at the worst possible moment – depriving people of the services they need when they need them the most.
All of this is to say that it is especially critical these days for Americans to get the assistance they need with rapid COVID-19 testing, drug screenings, personal care equipment, and more. Through equal parts passion, expertise, and innovation, Ron Kilgarlin and the American Screening Corp hope to provide the resources to accomplish that too as many people as possible.
Ron Kilgarlin and the ASC: Pushing Healthcare Forward
Initially founded by Shawn and Ron Kilgarlin in the early 2000s, the American Screening Corp is one of the leading contract manufacturers in the United States. Its goal is simple: it aims to offer medical supplies that can be used everywhere, from rehabilitation centers to small clinics to large hospitals and everyone in between.
Case in point: the Coronavirus pandemic. Although things are trending in the right direction, it’s important to note that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over. According to the World Health Organization, over 620 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 have occurred since October 14, 2022. About 6.5 million of them resulted in deaths. Experts agree that as we head into the fall, another surge in cases can be expected – an unfortunate reality of a situation that has been playing out since early 2020.
Throughout this period, the ASC has made it a priority to get COVID-19 tests into many communities to help better control the spread of the disease, doing their part to help end it as soon as possible.
The ASC has also developed an intricate network of resources offering essential medical and drug testing equipment to organizations everywhere. The latter is critical, as Fentanyl use is rising in the United States. According to another recent study, as of 2021, Fentanyl was responsible for 31.06 deaths per 100,000 people – a massive 20% increase year-over-year and an unfortunate trend that shows no signs of slowing anytime soon.
Of course, it isn’t just the United States that Shawn and Ron Kilgarlin are dedicated to. They believe in the health and wellness of the family, regardless of where that family is located. That’s why, since its inception, the ASC has expanded its offerings into more than 50 countries. In addition to the U.S., the ASC operates in Canada, Mexico, South America, the Middle East, and more.
ASC is also a certified ISO 13485 company, which means that it has developed a reputation for offering exceptional quality medical supplies to businesses that meet all applicable regulatory requirements.
In the end, Shawn and Ron Kilgarlin understand that, as is true with the battle against COVID-19, the battle against drug use will not be won overnight. It takes a vast network of resources, distributed to the people who need them, and the will of entire communities to make progress happen. By emphasizing the innovation and expertise of the ASC, all involved pledge to continue to do their part to help anyone, anywhere, no matter what.
