In 1986, a group of local pharmacists opened Sickroom Supplies in downtown Ebensburg, PA to address a need in the community for an easy, accessible source for medical equipment. As the company grew and the need for a bigger space intensified, Sickroom Supplies moved to a different part of town and was renamed Laurel Medical Supplies. From 1992 to 2009, Laurel Medical Supplies was located in what was then the Jamesway Plaza in Ebensburg. Laurel Medical Supplies continued its growth through the 2000s with the end of this decade proving to be a pivotal time in the company's growth.

In 2008, Golden Orthotics & Prosthetics was formed and joined the Laurel Medical Family, with its first location in Ducansville, PA. Also in 2008, the company expanded its home medical equipment operations with the opening of a branch location in an industrial park on the outskirts of Frederick, MD. The branch location was later renamed Frederick Medical Supplies, which it still goes by today. Then in 2009, Golden O&P opened another office in Johnstown, PA in the College Park Plaza and it continues to business out of this office today. Also in 2009, Laurel Medical Supplies moved into its current corporate headquarters building at 405 South West Street in Ebensburg.
After establishing the Frederick Medical Supplies brand, the company opened its retail store in 2011 in the Amber Meadows Shopping Plaza in Frederick. Frederick Medical Supplies is still conveniently located on Thomas Johnson Drive just down from Weis Market. Today, the parent company of Laurel Medical Supplies, Inc. operates three locations, Laurel Medical Solutions (Ebensburg, PA and Johnstown, PA) and Frederick Medical Supplies (Frederick, MD) with a staff that has decades of experience in various fields of home medical equipment.
