“Options Medical started in North Central Florida as a small team of hard working individuals who wanted to provide the best in medical device solutions to physicians. Today I am proud to say we have grown into a team of 40 plus who cover the states of Florida and Connecticut. We are excited to become a part of Orthofix and look forward to continuing our record of success for many years to come,” Options Medical founder Beth Stevenson said in a prepared statement.
