  • 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 𝗥𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗼 – 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲  This month, we’re proud to spotlight Roger Solano, who has been a valued member of the Pelstar team for over 8 years as a Warehouse Associate. Roger’s favorite part of the job is the opportunity to learn something new every day while building scales and understanding how they work. He enjoys the hands-on nature of the work and the constant chance to grow his knowledge. Roger says one of the best parts about working at Pelstar is the people. He appreciates being part of a great team where everyone is friendly and supportive, making the workplace feel welcoming every day. One of Roger’s favorite company memories was an outing on a Chicago architectural boat tour, which gave the team a chance to relax, connect, and enjoy the city together. Thank you, Roger, for your dedication and the positive energy you bring to the team each day! 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗿  • Roger grew up in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago and now lives on the Northwest Side of the city.   • His favorite cuisine is Chinese food.   • One destination on his travel bucket list is Japan.   • He is currently binge-watching Resident Alien.   • Roger’s ideal weekend includes working on cars and spending quality time with his three children.

  • Last week Ken Harris, Brett Lucido, Jason Fillipp, and Alexandria Deckert spent their time in Orlando at the McKesson National Sales Meeting, connecting with our strategic partners and having some of the conversations we enjoy most, the ones centered on real challenges healthcare facilities are facing every day. At our booth, we focused on solutions that are making a real difference right now—especially for facilities navigating ADA requirements and day-to-day patient care challenges. One of the biggest themes in our conversations continues to be ADA compliance. More facilities are recognizing that accessible equipment isn’t just about meeting regulations, it’s about creating an environment where every patient is treated with dignity, respect, and equal access to care, and investing in equipment that truly supports that standard of care. Safe patient handling also remains one of the most critical issues in healthcare today. Slidemates are a solution we're proud to bring to those conversations, designed to protect patients, and the caregivers who look after them. Thanks for the great week, McKesson! We’re proud to be part of these important discussions. #McKessonNSM #DriveSupplier #OwnTheMoment Health o meter® Professional Scales Bridge Healthcare by Pelstar

  • We celebrate Chicago style. 🍕⚾ This week, the team came together for National Pizza Party Day to pick sides ahead of the Crosstown Classic (Cubs vs. Sox, May 16–18). Jerseys were worn. Opinions were shared. Pizza was consumed. It's a small thing, but moments like these are what turn coworkers into teammates. Strong cultures aren't built in boardrooms. They're built over a slice. Whoever you're rooting for this weekend, we hope it's a great one. Health o meter® Professional Scales Bridge Healthcare by Pelstar #Pelstar #CrosstownClassic #ChicagoBaseball #TeamCulture

  • 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 – 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗥𝘇𝗲𝗽𝗸𝗮, 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 This month we are highlighting our Marketing Manager, Lindsay Rzepka. As a long-standing employee of almost 19 years at Pelstar, Lindsay’s contributions to the company are countless! Her creative mind and exceptional organization skills help drive the Marketing department to bring attention to Pelstar’s wide portfolio of medical products.  Lindsay says being in a role where she can constantly create, innovate, and collaborate with others is what drew her to the Marketing field and she loves being surrounded by ideas and working with a team that brings those ideas to life in meaningful ways. To her, weigh𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙚𝙧® means creating an experience for customers that feels effortless, supportive, and trustworthy.  Lindsay believes what makes Pelstar unique is the culture, where the team truly supports one another, collaborates, uplifts each other, and genuinely enjoys working together. She finds that Pelstar has a strong sense of respect and teamwork while having fun while and working hard. A balance she finds really special.   𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗮𝘆 • Lindsay resides in Berwyn, Illinois just outside of Chicago with her husband, 2 year-old daughter, and two fluffy black cats.  • She is looking forward to exploring the Big Island of Hawaii for the first time with her whole family this year. She will also be visiting her favorite island, Kauai, which is especially meaningful to her since it is where she got married. • She loves live music and attends many concerts each year. Her first was H.O.R.D.E. Fest in 1997, featuring artists like Neil Young, Primus, and Beck; most recently, she attended a Phish concert. • Her ideal weekend would include a bike ride along a wooded path, stopping to play some disc golf, and then wrapping it up with a drink at one of her favorite local breweries. • Lindsay’s favorite food is Italian, especially capellini. But, if she had to choose one meal to eat every day, it would be chips and salsa.   We truly appreciate Lindsay’s creativity, collaborative spirit, and dedication to Pelstar. Her ideas, organization, and passion make a real difference! Health o meter® Professional Scales Bridge Healthcare by Pelstar
