In the early 1980’s, community pharmacist John H. Bell owned and operated highly successful retail pharmacies and home medical equipment businesses in Livingston and York, Alabama. While managing the businesses, he recognized the advantages of home infusion versus hospitalization. He began providing a number of intravenous medications in the homes of patients in the local community.

Seeing the quality of life improvement in patients treated in the home setting prompted him to form Vital Care Home Parenteral Services in 1986. He established a clinical, marketing, and billing team that established the framework for the current Vital Care franchise system. Vital Care achieved rapid franchise growth throughout the Southeastern United States as word of its comprehensive program spread.

Today, Vital Care continues to expand into new areas by adding to our growing list of successful franchise locations.
