Free medical equipment loan closets in Florida: 13 programs listed
Medical disclaimer. Nothing here is medical advice. Equipment that fits badly can cause injury or fall risk. Ask a doctor, nurse, or physical or occupational therapist what you need and what size before you borrow.
Call first. Stock changes daily and many programs run on volunteer hours or by appointment. Confirm hours, stock, who can borrow and any fee before you travel.
