Medical Equipment Loan Program
With a Phase I grant, Spark will identify and establish partnerships with agencies and medical equipment loan closets; study options for equipment transport; establish a referral network with medical providers, social workers, and other nonprofit organizations; and examine our current infrastructure and determine any necessary updates to software, systems, or physical locations. This program will have an enormous impact on the lives of people with disabilities and their families and caregivers by providing low or no-cost medical equipment that can improve mobility, independence, and dignity and ease some of the burdens of family caregiving. We will maintain communication with clients to receive feedback on program services and meet any additional technology needs. This program will be sustained through an extensive network of partnerships including local governments, medical providers, United Way, and other nonprofits and service providers.
