Lions Club HOME HEALTHCARE EQUIPMENT PROGRAM - We loan home healthcare and disability equipment FREE OF CHARGE, for as long as you need it (limited only by availability); however, we ask that you return the equipment when no longer needed.
We also accept donations of equipment that is in good and functioning condition for re-use in our loan program, and we accept monetary donations which we can use to obtain repair parts and perform maintenance on our loanable equipment.
