Scott Staarmann: Medical Supply Specialist
How long have you been with Strive Medical, and what is your role within the company?
I’ve been with Strive for a little over 2.5 years, serving as a Medical Supply Specialist.
You specialize in working with pediatric patients, particularly those with Spina Bifida. Can you share any personal stories or experiences that have helped you gain this expertise?
My journey with patients who have Spina Bifida actually began at birth—my older brother was born with Spina Bifida, and he's been a role model for me my entire life. Seeing the world through his eyes has always been a privilege. His positive, adventurous spirit, like that of so many Spina Bifida patients, is truly inspiring. They embrace life’s challenges and make the most of every moment! Being able to support him and patients like him with their catheter needs has been incredibly rewarding, both personally and professionally.
Is there a particular experience during your time at Strive that stands out to you?
My time at Strive has been nothing short of amazing, largely because of the team I work with—everyone is committed to going the extra mile for our patients. But the experience that stands out the most is having my brother as a patient of Strive. It’s a constant reminder of my “why” and fuels my passion for what I do every day.
What do you enjoy most about your role at Strive?
What I love most is being able to help patients get exactly what they need. For both new and experienced patients, comfort during catheterization is essential. It’s incredibly satisfying to know that Strive prioritizes providing patients with the right products, making their lives a little easier—that’s why I love being a part of this team.
Can you walk us through a typical day as a Medical Supply Specialist? What does it involve?
Most days, you’ll find me on the road, either visiting offices or, at times, patient homes. I work closely with various urology and wound care offices across Ohio to ensure their patients receive top-notch care when they choose us for their prescriptions. This involves making sure all necessary insurance information is in order, and if we need more details, I’ll personally head back to the office to gather it. Through these daily interactions, I’ve built strong relationships with nurses and office staff, and I truly enjoy helping them support their patients.
