Meet Robert & Cece

Robert and Cece bring their nursing background, government contracting experience, and deep Kansas City roots into everything they do.
They believe in needs-based service — not sales — meaning they’ll only recommend what’s truly right for you.

“Even if you don’t buy from us, we’ll help you find what you need. That’s what GladHome is about — care first, always.”
— Robert Wamkpah, Owner

From Clinical Care to Community Service

Robert’s journey began as a registered nurse before transitioning into pharmaceutical sales, where he spent eight years working with hospitals, clinics, and healthcare systems.
That unique combination of clinical knowledge and industry experience naturally led him to durable medical equipment (DME) retail, where he saw firsthand how proper equipment can drastically improve safety, comfort, and independence at home.

Together with Cece — a longtime rehab nurse at St. Luke’s Hospital — they founded GladHome Medical to bring professional-grade care, knowledge, and service directly to families who need it most.
