VGM names Dan Bunting as senior advisor
WATERLOO, Iowa – VGM Group has announced that Dan Bunting, who was most recently COO and strategic advisor to the CEO of AdaptHealth, has joined its team as a senior advisor. In this role, Bunting will help VGM develop long-term strategies to promote and support its customers and the HME industry. “I don’t think there’s anyone in the United States who knows more about our industry than Dan,” said VGM Group CEO Jeremy Stolz. “The health care industry, and HME in particular, is constantly evolving. And I am thrilled to have Dan’s experience and expertise with us as we continue to shape the future of VGM and the industries we serve.” In all, Bunting’s career spans 40 years, with experience in nearly every aspect of HME, including product development and manufacturing. Born and raised in Manchester, Iowa, less than an hour east of VGM’s headquarters, Bunting has been close to VGM throughout his life and career. He first met Van Miller, VGM’s founder, while attending the University of Iowa. At that time, Miller had an HME business where Bunting worked for two years while getting his degree. Later, when Bunting set out to start his own HME business in Iowa City, Miller and a few of his friends helped finance it. Bunting’s HME business, which sold to Rotech in 1996, was one of VGM’s earliest members. “I have dedicated my entire career to helping advance the HME industry, and I’m honored to continue that work with VGM,” Bunting said. “VGM, in many ways, feels like a return home for me. I am excited to do my part to help VGM in its mission to make a difference—both in the industry and in the communities it calls home.”
