The Medical Equipment Loaners Program is a free community resource where you may borrow basic medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes, beds and bathroom safety items.
How does this program works?
This program offers donated new or gently used equipment from people who no longer need it. Equipment is property leaned & checked for safety and make it available to another person. The equipment may be loaned out for a set period of time, for as long as the person needs it or, in some cases it may be given away. When the equipment is returned, it is cleaned again and checked for safety and is then made available for the next person. The medical equipment available varies depending on availability.
The equipment available in a DME loan closet is usually in good condition and is properly cleaned and maintained before it is loaned out. The loan process is typically simple and requires only a small deposit or a nominal fee to cover maintenance costs.
*Please note, we do not deliver or pick-up or deliver any medical equipment.
