The NOVA Story and Promise
The story of NOVA starts with Dr. Bruce Chen’s dream to come to the United States to pursue his medical career and give his family every opportunity. Dr. Chen established himself as a leader in the field of Rehabilitation, but was consistently frustrated at the lack of medical equipment for his patients. He was affected during his time at the VA Rehabilitation Center in GA and was inspired by the Veterans that he worked with. Their courage and determination put him on a mission to manufacture the best products.
Sadly, Dr. Chen lost his 14-year battle with cancer in 1984 when Sue Chen was just 14 years old. Dr. Chen’s 3 brothers and father carried on with medical equipment manufacturing. Sue launched NOVA in 1993 with only 3 employees.
NOVA recognized the customer voice was rarely heard from when it came to product desire, design and most of all – service in the industry. This is why GREY was the go to color on most all medical equipment and people put tennis balls on walkers – a horrible symbol of aging and mobility in America.
NOVA bucked the “industry standard” by being the first company to have a toll-free number so customers could connect with them. That connection with customers would inspire NOVA’s early innovations with Rolling Walkers by adding color, options and accessories.
