Healthstar Associates, Inc. has a long history as a responsive, knowledgeable manufacturers’ representative in the Midwest and Canada. We function as a sales and marketing force for a wide range of medical manufacturers. From six offices, our sales force covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Canada. Our Chicago-area headquarters staff facilitates communication with manufacturers, dealers and our sales force.

What makes us different?  Unlike a typical U.S. or Canadian firm that specializes in a narrow segment of the healthcare market, we’ve proven our ability to effectively reach a broader spectrum of markets:

What can we offer?  Dealers want to meet with us because we represent non-competing yet complementary products, such as equipment and supplies. We develop product recognition and pull-through by calling on hospital emergency rooms, the wound care and rehab departments, among others. We expose products to new markets. We provide timely, cost-effective market intelligence.

What makes us effective?  A track record of reliability, extensive product knowledge and strong follow-through, seasoned by experience. Healthstar’s president Barry Petrigala has more than three decades of expertise in healthcare sales, marketing, management and manufacturing.
