Woodbury Products (WPI) completed the acquisition of Continence Connection, in October 2009. Continence Connection is an online company that was started by a Continence Nurse Specialist, Robin Howe. I am excited about the acquisition because our values are highly synergistic. It also expands our knowledge base and distribution profile to provide our customers with greater resources. Robin will continue her advocacy as Clinical Director at WPI, assisting with expansion and cultivation of quality customer service to the WPI consumer base.

Information For Your Well-Being
Some of you may have seen the Whoopie Goldberg commercial about "light bladder leakage," AKA stress urinary incontinence. You will be hearing the new terminology LBL and light bladder leakage more and more. If you haven't seen it, it's worth taking a little break to watch it. You'll have a good laugh! Check out the commercial!
FYI - the term came along because Kimberly Clark did extensive research to help them determine what terminology would be more accepted for incontinence so people would start talking about it. The Poise consumer doesn't really consider herself incontinent. The brand has coined the term "light bladder leakage," and, just as Viagra helped destigmatize impotence with the term "erectile dysfunction," Poise hopes it will be an icebreaker. LBL doesn't make women feel like they're incontinent, a term often attached to fear of aging.
As a token of appreciation, we recently created an online health center so you can access valuable information about incontinence. At Woodbury Health Center you will find a wealth of information that will help you manage and cope with incontinence with confidence. Check out some of the articles and print outs. Please let us know if you like to see information about other health topics by adding a comment to our blog or write to our Continence Nurse Specialist.

I look forward to many more years of serving you through Woodbury Health Products, Continence Connection

Woodbury Product announced the acquisition of DHP Home Delivery, in January 2010. DHP is an online storefront founded by Mike Gentry. The Company offers free delivery to its clients with an emphasis on discrete delivery, convenience and outstanding customer service. I am excited about this enhancement to our business because DHP Home sells a variety of products currently not offered by Woodbury, such as compression stockings, diabetic socks, and wound care, cardiology, and urology products. This will allow us to become a distributor of multiple healthcare products and gives the Company a new brand, Kendall (marketed under the SureCare® brand), to sell to our existing patients. Mike will continue to lead DHP Home Delivery as Consulting General Manager of the DHP division for the foreseeable future.
We have some things to celebrate!
Recently, I was at my 14 year old sons' baseball game and I was talking with several of the parents whose sons also play. It’s been fun to reminisce about how all of our boys have grown over the years and how some have embraced the game more, while others have chosen other directions through gifts they have been given.
One of the parents told me about her Mom, now 80 years old, who has been taking care of her 83 year old husband. She shared what a challenge it has been and how difficult some days are. She said that sometimes she is ready to just throw her hands up and say "I surrender." Of course, in the movies, something wonderful would happen and everyone would live happily ever after. After I listened to her sad, yet inspiring story of courage, hope, anguish, and despair, I shared with her that there are many people, just like her mom and dad, that we have been able to help, if even in our very small way.
Woodbury Health Products is by no means the happy ending... but we are a place of hope and encouragement. Our Personal Product Advisors CARE about your most precious loved ones, and we work hard every day to be the best we can possibly be. It isn't about hoping we can deliver the very best in products and service. It is about expecting to deliver, as we truly embrace our brand as "People with a Purpose".
I think it’s incredible how many people I talk to at church, games, family gatherings, bumping into old friends who need or know a person that needs our products. As long as I am the President of Woodbury Health Products, I promise to do whatever I can to help those who need our help the most.
People with a Purpose, we don't just say it, we are committed to it.
WOW - It's almost Summer!
