Medical Equipment

The organizations that follow accept medical equipment for donation to appropriate medical outreach efforts. Please contact them prior to shipping any materials to be sure that your donation can be utilized.  To visit an organization's Web site, just click on their name (in purple).

Many of these organizations may also be able to assist with providing supplies to registered medical non-profits. You will need to directly inquire with each organization to determine this.
