GlobalMed, worldwide leader in real-time healthcare delivery systems, announced it has been chosen as a finalist for the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Business Ethics Award for 2013. This is the first time the company has applied for and been named a finalist for the award, which was established in 2002.

“As a business owner who values highly the community in which I live and work, I am thrilled to be considered a finalist for this award,” stated Joel E. Barthelemy, GlobalMed Founder and Managing Director. “There is no doubt that ethics are vital to running any business successfully. As a leader in our industry, we have an obligation to our customers, our vendors, our employees and to the community at large to conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity in all aspects of our business.”

In February, GlobalMed was announced as one of 15 Arizona companies named as finalists for the award. In April, GlobalMed representatives Brad Schmidt, Director of Global Marketing Development; and Neal Schoenbach, Director of North American Business Development, participated in a video interview to discuss the significance of the nomination.

“For a company where the core is integrity — walking the walk is what we do — it’s just exciting to be a part of it,” said Schoenbach.
