Featuring Our Own:
(Chamber A -Z) Lakewood Health System’s Medical Marketplace
The Long Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce features different local area businesses, non-profits and other organizations on a monthly basis on its Facebook page and on the Chamber website www.longprairie.org.
This month, we are featuring Lakewood Health System’s Medical Marketplace located 221 Lake St S #102. Hours: Monday- Friday 10am- 4pm. They also have another store in Staples located at 49725 County 83. Hours: Monday thru Friday 9 to 6 pm. Closed on the weekends. https://www.lakewoodhealthsystem.com/home-medical-equipment/ UNISEX:
Medical Marketplace is a full-service home medical equipment store offering a wide variety of products to meet the community’s specific care needs. Its staff is available to answer questions and will work with your provider and insurance company to make sure you receive the equipment and supplies you need. Here is a list of medical equipment that is provided both in the Long Prairie and Staples locations.
At Lakewood Health System’s Medical Marketplace, they offer a wide variety of services and products. (See above list) In this article, however, the Chamber would like to focus on their diabetic shoes and services associated with these shoes. Diabetic shoes are important for many reasons, such as reducing the risk of foot amputations and promoting healthy circulation in the feet. Comprehensive foot care programs for diabetics can help reduce diabetic foot amputations by 45-85%. Unfortunately, less than 20% of diabetics are receiving diabetic shoes.
Medical Marketplace has two certified fitters for therapeutic shoes certified by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics, Inc.: Mykeisha Otterstetter, located at our Main Campus store in Staples, and Samantha Otterstetter, located in our Long Prairie store.
Medical Marketplace uses a Brannock device to specifically measure for the Dr. Comfort shoes which they offer at Medical Marketplace. Each shoe comes in a variety of full and half sizes, along with multiple widths to accommodate all different shaped and sized feet. Dr. Comfort also offers a double depth shoe that helps accommodate people who may have severe swelling, wear braces, ankle or foot orthotics, or may have other foot deformities that could make it difficult to wear standard shoes.
Diabetic shoes can typically be billed to insurance every calendar year. They are contracted providers with many different insurance companies. This allows us to be able to provide a useful service to so many customers. We are also VA preferred and work with the VA to help provide veterans with shoes.
