Wholesale medical supply and medical suppliers near Derby, VT. Visit Walmart #4156 at 115 Seymour Drive for same-day returns, replenishment kits, and verified LAC Health logistics support.

Derby, Vermont—Orleans County’s largest town with 4,500+ residents—serves as northeastern Vermont’s primary healthcare hub, strategically located 35 miles northeast of Burlington (Vermont’s largest city with 45,000+ residents and the University of Vermont Medical Center, a 562-bed academic medical center) along U.S. Route 5 and Vermont Route 105. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #4156 at 115 Seymour Drive provides Orleans County’s healthcare providers with same-day access to wholesale medical supplies, compliant returns, and emergency logistics support without the 50-minute drive to Burlington or 60-minute drive to Montpelier.
North Country Hospital & Health Center (Newport’s 25-bed critical access hospital, serving Orleans County’s 27,000+ residents), Orleans County Home Health Agency, and specialty clinics throughout northeastern Vermont rely on this waypoint for surgical instrument trays, respiratory equipment, home health DME, and emergency medical supplies. Derby’s location along the Canadian border (5 miles north to Derby Line border crossing) and proximity to Lake Memphremagog means regional healthcare providers serve both Vermont residents and cross-border patients, requiring reliable medical supply logistics that can handle same-day pickups and temperature-controlled shipments.
Since Derby was incorporated in 1779, healthcare infrastructure has evolved from small physician practices to North Country Hospital & Health Center’s comprehensive facility, which opened in 1972 and expanded to 25 beds by 2010. Today Orleans County’s population exceeds 27,000, with Derby serving as the county’s primary economic hub. The region’s aging population (20.5% over age 65, compared to Vermont’s statewide average of 20.1%) drives demand for geriatric care, home health services, and DME, while the proximity to Burlington’s academic medical center creates referral patterns requiring coordinated supply chain operations. This Derby hub keeps northeastern Vermont supplied with STAT deliveries routed through +1 (703) 810-3898 rather than waiting for Burlington-based couriers.
Parking: Free parking with 250+ spaces. Medical supply delivery vehicles may use the east-side loading dock for pallet-sized shipments.
Highway Access: Located along U.S. Route 5 (Derby’s primary north-south highway connecting Burlington to the Canadian border) and Vermont Route 105 (connecting Derby to Newport and surrounding communities). Total drive time from North Country Hospital & Health Center (Newport): 8 minutes; from Orleans: 12 minutes; from Barton: 18 minutes; from University of Vermont Medical Center (Burlington): 50 minutes; from Central Vermont Medical Center (Berlin): 60 minutes.
Nearby Landmarks: This location is situated in Derby’s commercial district, adjacent to U.S. Route 5 (0.2 miles west), Lake Memphremagog (2.5 miles east), and North Country Hospital & Health Center (3.5 miles south in Newport).
This location is staffed by Vermont-trained logistics professionals who understand the unique challenges of northeastern Vermont healthcare delivery, including coordination with North Country Hospital & Health Center (Orleans County’s largest healthcare provider), Orleans County Home Health Agency, rural clinic networks throughout Orleans County, and home health agencies serving Orleans County’s 20.5% population over age 65. Each team member is trained in Vermont Board of Pharmacy regulations, Joint Commission standards, and northeastern Vermont-specific healthcare delivery patterns, including coordination with University of Vermont Medical Center (Burlington) for specialized care referrals.

This retail location operates 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. daily, with extended hours during Vermont’s peak tourism season (September-October, when fall foliage attracts 1.2 million visitors to Vermont, and December-February, when ski season brings 800,000+ visitors to northern Vermont ski resorts). For after-hours emergency pickups (life-safety equipment, STAT surgical trays for North Country Hospital & Health Center’s emergency department or operating rooms), call our 24/7 dispatch line at +1 (703) 810-3898 to arrange secure access via the pharmacy entrance, which is monitored 24/7 by security personnel.
Inform the service desk that you’re completing a LAC Health wholesale medical supply transaction. Provide your facility name (e.g., “North Country Hospital & Health Center,” “Orleans County Home Health Agency”), purchase order number (for pickups), or RMA authorization number (for returns). Our on-site associate will verify your credentials against our database of authorized northeastern Vermont healthcare providers, which includes North Country Hospital & Health Center, Orleans County Home Health Agency, specialty clinics throughout Orleans County, and home health agencies serving Derby, Newport, Orleans, Barton, and rural Orleans County communities.
Our field coordinator will verify your credentials (photo ID, facility badge, or authorized representative letter), photograph the shipment (including lot numbers, expiration dates, and barcode labels), and scan all barcode labels using our mobile scanning system, which syncs instantly with LAC Health’s Fairfax, Virginia command center. Cold-chain items (pharmaceuticals, biologics, temperature-sensitive medical devices) receive immediate temperature verification using calibrated infrared thermometers and time-temperature indicator strips, with special attention to Vermont’s seasonal temperature variations (average high 80°F in July, average low 10°F in January). All controlled substances (narcotics, sedatives, anesthetics) require DEA 222 witness verification and dual-signature documentation per Vermont Board of Pharmacy regulations.
Within 90 seconds, your facility’s materials manager (at North Country Hospital & Health Center), biomedical director (at specialty clinics), or home health agency purchasing manager receives email and SMS confirmation including GPS coordinates (verified via our mobile app’s geolocation system), product photos (high-resolution images of lot numbers, expiration dates, and packaging integrity), lot numbers (scanned from barcode labels and verified against FDA databases), and estimated transit times to the destination facility (North Country Hospital & Health Center: 8 minutes; Orleans: 12 minutes; Barton: 18 minutes; University of Vermont Medical Center: 50 minutes) or LAC Health’s Fairfax, Virginia processing center (for returns requiring restocking, refurbishment, or compliant destruction).
This LAC Health drop-off and pickup hub serves northeastern Vermont’s largest concentration of healthcare providers, including facilities in Orleans County:
Derby’s healthcare infrastructure has expanded dramatically since the 1970s: North Country Hospital & Health Center opened its current facility in 1972, expanding to 25 beds by 2010, followed by specialty clinics throughout the region. Today, Derby functions as northeastern Vermont’s primary healthcare hub, serving not only its own 4,500+ residents but also patients from Newport (4,500), Orleans (1,200), Barton (2,800), and rural communities throughout Orleans County. This concentration of healthcare providers—combined with Derby’s strategic location along U.S. Route 5 (connecting Burlington to the Canadian border) and its proximity to Burlington International Airport (50 minutes via U.S. Route 5, making it accessible for medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical distributors, and healthcare consultants visiting northeastern Vermont’s healthcare facilities)—makes reliable wholesale medical supply logistics essential for maintaining patient care continuity across Orleans County’s expanding healthcare network. Medical suppliers near me searches from Derby, Newport, Orleans, Barton, and rural Orleans County communities invariably route through this hub due to its central location within northeastern Vermont’s healthcare ecosystem and its ability to handle same-day drop-off and pickup operations without the 50-minute drive to Burlington.
Derby was established in 1779 as a farming and logging community along the Canadian border, serving as Orleans County’s primary economic hub. The area grew rapidly following World War II due to dairy farming expansion, manufacturing development, and proximity to Burlington’s employment centers (50 minutes via U.S. Route 5 to downtown Burlington, 45 minutes to Burlington International Airport). Derby’s population grew from 2,000 in 1950 to 3,000 in 1970, 4,000 in 1990, and 4,500+ today, making it Orleans County’s largest town and northeastern Vermont’s primary economic and healthcare hub. This explosive growth, driven by Derby’s status as Orleans County’s economic center, dairy farming and manufacturing employment, and proximity to Burlington’s employment centers, has created unprecedented demand for local healthcare infrastructure and wholesale medical supply logistics.
Healthcare infrastructure followed northeastern Vermont’s population growth: North Country Hospital & Health Center opened in 1972, expanding to 25 beds by 2010, followed by specialty clinics throughout the region. Today, Derby functions as northeastern Vermont’s primary healthcare hub, serving not only its own 4,500+ residents but also patients from Newport (4,500), Orleans (1,200), Barton (2,800), and rural communities throughout Orleans County. This concentration of healthcare providers—combined with Derby’s strategic location along U.S. Route 5 (connecting Burlington to the Canadian border) and its proximity to Burlington International Airport (50 minutes via U.S. Route 5, making it accessible for medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical distributors, and healthcare consultants)—makes reliable wholesale medical supply logistics essential for maintaining patient care continuity across Orleans County’s expanding healthcare network. Medical suppliers near me searches from Derby, Newport, Orleans, Barton, and rural Orleans County communities invariably route through this hub due to its central location within northeastern Vermont’s healthcare ecosystem and its ability to handle same-day drop-off and pickup operations without the 50-minute drive to Burlington.
Northeastern Vermont’s healthcare ecosystem has evolved from a rural network of small clinics and home health agencies in the 1960s to a comprehensive healthcare infrastructure today, with North Country Hospital & Health Center serving as the anchor facility for Orleans County. This evolution reflects northeastern Vermont’s transformation from a farming and manufacturing region (dairy production, manufacturing employment, logging) to a diversified economy (healthcare, tourism, technology), with Derby, Newport, Orleans, and Barton collectively housing 27,000+ residents who rely on local healthcare providers for routine care, emergency services, and specialized medical treatment. However, local healthcare providers—including North Country Hospital & Health Center, Orleans County Home Health Agency, specialty clinics throughout northeastern Vermont, and home health agencies serving Orleans County’s 20.5% population over age 65—demand reliable wholesale medical supply logistics that don’t require the 50-minute drive to Burlington, especially during Vermont’s severe winter weather (December-March, when snowstorms and ice can make U.S. Route 5 travel hazardous). LAC Health’s drop-off and pickup hub fills this gap, ensuring that northeastern Vermont’s healthcare ecosystem maintains efficient supply chain operations without geographic bottlenecks or weather-related delays that could impact patient care continuity at North Country Hospital & Health Center’s emergency department, operating rooms, or ICU.
Derby’s population of 4,500+ residents reflects Orleans County’s demographic trends: 20.5% over age 65 (compared to Vermont’s statewide average of 20.1%), 28.8% between ages 45-64 (reflecting Orleans County’s mix of aging population and working-age residents), and 21.6% between ages 25-44 (reflecting young families drawn to Derby’s affordable housing and proximity to Burlington). This age distribution drives demand for healthcare services: the 20.5% over age 65 requires geriatric care, home health services, and DME (hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, mobility aids), while the 28.8% between ages 45-64 requires preventive care, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease), and specialty services (cardiology, orthopedics, oncology). Derby’s median household income of $48,600 (compared to Vermont’s statewide median of $63,000) reflects Orleans County’s mix of manufacturing employees, dairy farmers, and private sector workers, with residents able to afford private health insurance, elective procedures, and specialized medical care. This economic profile drives demand for high-quality healthcare infrastructure, including North Country Hospital & Health Center’s operating rooms and specialty clinics throughout Derby, all of which require reliable wholesale medical supply logistics to maintain patient care continuity across Orleans County.

Our 24/7 dispatch center maintains direct communication with North Country Hospital & Health Center’s materials management department, Orleans County Home Health Agency’s supply coordinators, and home health agency purchasing managers throughout Orleans County.
For RMA authorizations (return merchandise authorizations for unused surgical supplies, expired pharmaceuticals, recalled medical devices), controlled substance returns (requiring DEA 222 witness verification per Vermont Board of Pharmacy regulations), and FDA recall coordination (recalled medical devices requiring FDA tracking number verification and compliant disposition). Our returns desk maintains direct communication with North Country Hospital & Health Center’s pharmacy, Orleans County Home Health Agency’s supply coordinators, and home health agency purchasing managers throughout Orleans County.
