The Roots of Success
Bound Tree Medical originated in 1978, when David Currier, an entrepreneur, politician and former Emergency Medical Technician, started a small emergency medical supply company in Henniker, New Hampshire.

Three Decades of Growth
A strong reputation for quality products and reliable customer service helped the company flourish throughout the 80s and 90s. In the last decade, a series of strategic mergers and acquisitions further stimulated the company’s growth.

Pharmaceuticals and specialty I.V. therapy products for emergency medical services (EMS) care providers were added to the product mix, and Bound Tree continued expanding its services for the EMS market.

In 2008, Bound Tree Medical merged with Tri-anim Health Services, Inc., another well-respected medical supply company. Today, Bound Tree and Tri-anim are subsidiaries of Sarnova, Inc., a leading specialty provider of healthcare products across the EMS and acute care continuum.

The Story Behind the Name
When David Currier founded Bound Tree Medical, he was serving as a Henniker Selectman. A Selectman is a member of the executive arm of the government of New England towns in the United States. Since the early 1700s, Selectmen have been required to perambulate — to make an official inspection by foot — of the Henniker town boundaries at least every five years.

At the town’s northeast boundary point was a large white oak tree – a bound tree. It had served as a guidepost for the Selectmen since 1752 when what was originally called “Town Number Six” was first surveyed. The historical significance of the tree prompted David to name his new business “Bound Tree Corporation.”

During the 1976 Bicentennial celebration, a sapling from the “bound tree” was planted at the Henniker town hall to preserve its history. In 1997, the bound tree gave in to the elements and was taken down. Bound Tree Corporation preserved a large piece of the tree; it currently sits outside the door of the entrance to Henniker Distribution Center.
