Avante Group names Medline its Prime Vendor

Northfield, Ill., June 18, 2025 – Medline today announced a new Prime Vendor agreement with Florida-based skilled nursing and rehabilitative services provider Avante Group.

As part of the agreement, Avante Group will choose from Medline’s extensive portfolio of medical supplies for its facilities, including Medline’s skin health products and accompanying guidelines. It also will benefit from Medline educational programs and in-servicing through Medline’s team of clinicians and skin health specialists.

“As CEO of Avante, I can confidently say we chose Medline because their industry leadership, reliability and shared commitment to excellence align with our mission to provide the highest standard of care to our residents and communities,” said Kimberly Biegasiewicz, CEO of Avante Group.

For more than 30 years, Avante Group has specialized in skilled nursing, assisted living, rehabilitation and post-acute services, with facilities extending as far north as Jacksonville and as far south to Palm Beach County.
