HSI is committed to serving our healthcare and health education customers with high-quality headwalls, booms, cord reels, accessories, and complementary equipment. We have cultivated a collaborative workflow, getting customer input at every step of the design, manufacturing, and installation process. We are dedicated to sustainability and certified as a California Green Business. We believe in protecting the environment, patients, caregivers, and our children by building the most environmentally friendly products possible. Workforce diversity is equally important to us. HSI’s team is made up of people from myriad ethnic, faith, and racial groups.
Listening to, designing for, working with, and manufacturing to meet our customers’ needs is in our DNA. Our commitment to customer-centered product design and development has been ingrained in the company since 1849, when Lewis Miller started making equipment for farmers in Denver, CO.
Established as a headwall manufacturing company in 1970 in Oakland, CA, we relocated to Pittsburg, CA in 2001 to accommodate our growing footprint in the industry.
HSI continues evolving to service the ever-changing needs and requirements of today’s healthcare professionals worldwide, expanding its product range, and integrating the newest technologies without compromising our commitment to sustainability.
HSI engages directly with each of our customers, whether they’re new or have enjoyed decades of partnership with us. Client input, interaction and involvement are foundational to where we have been and where we are going.
Our team brings personality and energy to each customer and vendor interaction and forges long-term relationships. Every project starts with a handshake and isn’t complete until our customers say it is. Get to know a few of our team members, below.
