Leadership
William L. Runion, CEO and Founder
Mr. Runion's career started modestly at Anaheim Memorial Hospital in the summer of 1976 pushing wheelchairs, managing supplies, and assisting nurses. He soon found an opportunity in the Sterile Processing Department and was later promoted to Technical Director of Central Supply & Sterile Processing. Following his entrepreneurial spirit, he transferred his working knowledge gained in these critical departments to business and became General Manager for hospital supplier Stan Pak. There, Bill learned the intricacies of hospital procurement and gained valuable knowledge of the FDA's device manufacturing requirements. As a result of his work ethic and determination, he was promoted to President and served on the Board of Directors for their parent company, Home Med Services. As Home Med Services made plans to relocate to Texas, the idea behind Bioseal was conceived over a card game fueled by Bill's entrepreneurial roots, industry contacts, and fervent desire to stay in beautiful Southern California. Bioseal was officially started in 1988 and has evolved into a multi-million company with over 100 employees committed to serving healthcare providers around the world.
