Durable Medical Equipment Donation & Loaner Resources

Durable Medical Equipment Donation & Loaner Resources

Handi Medical is pleased to offer this list as a service to our community. We cannot endorse any specific organization and at the same time, each organization can and will change the types of equipment that they can accept and offer without any obligation to notify us. As a result, this list may not always be accurate or complete despite our best efforts to keep it up to date. Please let us know if you learn of any information that we should change. It should also be noted that some manufacturer's warranties are not transferable, and as such they expire when transferring equipment to a different individual.
