CPAP supplies

Question

Anywhere know where we can purchase supplies from in store? My husband left his head strap. We were told Tallahassee or Panama City but both are far. It would be a good chunk of the day just traveling to get the product.

Any advice would be appreciated. Already checked Goodwill and some local stores.

Answer

Finding CPAP supplies locally in Port St. Joe can be challenging, as smaller towns in the Florida Panhandle may have limited medical supply stores. If your husband left his head strap and you need a replacement quickly, here are some practical options:

Local in-store options:

Local pharmacies: Some larger chain pharmacies, such as Walgreens or CVS in nearby towns, may carry basic CPAP supplies or be able to order them for same-day pickup. Call ahead to confirm availability.
Medical supply stores in Panama City or Tallahassee: As you mentioned, these cities have dedicated CPAP and respiratory supply stores. While it is a longer drive, these locations will definitely have the correct head strap and any other needed parts.
Hospital or clinic pharmacies: Local hospitals in Port St. Joe or surrounding areas might carry limited CPAP supplies in their pharmacy or durable medical equipment departments. Worth a phone call to ask.

Alternative faster options without the long drive:

Online same-day delivery: Amazon, CPAP.com, or ResMed’s online store often offer overnight or one-day shipping for individual CPAP parts. This can be a convenient way to get a head strap without leaving town.
Call nearby towns: Smaller nearby towns like Panama City Beach or Apalachicola may have independent medical supply stores with CPAP products. Sometimes calling a few stores can save you the trip to Tallahassee or Panama City.

Summary: If you need the head strap urgently today, the fastest route is likely checking local pharmacies or nearby medical supply stores in towns like Panama City Beach, then resorting to online same-day shipping if that’s not available. Otherwise, a dedicated CPAP supply store in Panama City or Tallahassee will have it for sure.
