Our Medical Loan Chest is a “lending library” type that carries wheelchairs, walkers, bedside commodes, shower chairs, and tub transfer benches. Whenever the need arises for something in this area – and we have the particular item in stock – we’d be pleased to lend it to you free of charge. And, if you have wheelchairs, 4-wheel walkers, bedside commodes, shower chairs, or tub transfer benches that you no longer need, contact the office at 520-296-2461, and we will be glad to have you drop them off. All items must be cleaned and in good working condition. This is what good neighbors are for – helping each other out!
