About Shaw Med Inc
Shaw med Inc. was originally known as Shaw surgical company and was founded in the early 1900s in Portland Oregon. In 1954 they established a sales staff to call on accounts in the Eugene Springfield area.
Neal Carlson, my Dad, became a shareholder in 1964. He was made vice president and general manager of the Eugene based location. Shaw surgical operated four stores: Portland, Boise, Eugene and Medford. The company was sold in 1982. Neal retired in December 1985. In July 1986 Janet Carlson, who had worked for Shaw surgical for 15 years, together with her family, purchased the home healthcare business located in Eugene and the name changed to Shaw Med Inc. And so the legacy continued. At that time, the focus shifted from surgical supplies to home health care. Janet, Jennifer, George, John, Stephanie and Wenette Carlson continue to operate the company to this day.

Shaw Med has always been reliable honest and able and willing to do more than the average medical supply store. It is worth the few extra dollars for the items compared to going on the internet but having a reliable group of people you can count on in the city that I work in and live in is invaluable and certainly worth the extra few dollars that it cost me to buy my equipment from them.
