Footit Medical Supply

Footit Medical Supply is one of the largest suppliers of durable medical equipment in New England. Its origins can be traced back to 1953 when Wallace Footit started it all with a $350 bank loan. Footit served doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes until 1955, when the national trend toward home recovery prompted Wally to open a retail store on East Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Thanks to Wally's vision and commitment, he expanded Footit’s inventory and moved to a larger storefront in the Forest Park neighborhood "X" of Springfield in 1963. Wally’s compassion, sense of humor, and long-standing relationships with local medical professionals made Footit a favorite among local doctors when prescribing products for their patients. Footit’s advertising slogan was “Your doctor knows us.”In 1994, to meet the growing needs of customers, Footit relocated the store from Sumner Avenue to a modern 4,000-square-foot location on Memorial Avenue in West Springfield, Massachusetts. The new facility, located in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut, showcased Footit’s expanded product line and offered interactive floor displays, allowing customers to experience various healthcare products before purchasing. In 2014, a Respiratory and CPAP department was established.
