"Providing Free Adaptive Medical Equipment for People with Disabilities"

The struggle to regain physical mobility and independence after a serious illness or injury can be the most challenging experience of a lifetime.  For many, recovery requires a reliance on specialized equipment to help them achieve their fullest potential.  This equipment can mean the difference between living independently and productively or living a life of dependence and immobility.

The disAbility Resource Center, in collaboration with sister organizations, has a program that provides persons with disabilities assistive equipment at no cost.  Very often there is no insurance or insurance will not pay for bedside commodes, bath seats or certain types of wheelchairs, walkers, ramps, etc.  In most cases consumers are on very limited incomes and cannot afford these necessary items that are essential for independent living.  Most consumers need support now.  Fortunately, hope is here; it's The Equipment Connection.

The Equipment Connection accepts donations of gently used or brand new durable medical equipment to be disbursed to those in need.  This program is designed to bridge the gap and provide for those needing immediate support.  This need is only going to increase as medical costs rise and benefits are reduced.
