Liberty Medical

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liberty Medical Supply is a company that sells diabetes testing supplies, prescription drugs, and ostomy supplies directly to consumers.^[1] Liberty Medical is a wholly-owned brand of PolyMedica, which was, in turn, purchased by Medco Health in 2007.^[2] Liberty Medical's corporate headquarters are located in Port St. Lucie, Florida.^[3] The company claims to send the supplies "right to your door, with no charge for shipping."^[4] Commercials promoting this service air frequently on daytime TV in the United States and feature veteran character actor Wilford Brimley, who has been the spokesman since 1999; Other celebrity diabetics who have done at least one commercial for the company include Nell Carter, Phylicia Rashad and Delta Burke. The ads have also been parodied on Family Guy and Saturday Night Live. Since those parodies, the commercials have become an internet meme. Pictures are usually captioned "Diabeetus."

Give 'em a call.
