The Maryland Department of Aging is providing durable medical equipment (DME) to Marylanders with any illness, injury, or disability, regardless of age, at no cost. All equipment is collected via donation and is sanitized, repaired, and redistributed to Marylanders in need. This service will improve the quality of life for many Maryland residents and provides the opportunity to avoid costlier levels of care. Visit the Maryland Department of Aging DME Program here.
Equipment Available: Many residents of Maryland require the use of durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, shower chairs, and other assistive devices in order to maintain their safety and mobility. Often the cost of this equipment is a financial burden, not only to uninsured residents, but also to insured residents whose insurance will not approve the equipment needed or whose approval is delayed. To address this need, the Maryland Department of Aging has developed an innovative program to provide durable medical equipment to Maryland residents. Maryland Durable Medical Equipment Re-Use will serve Marylanders with any illness, injury, or disability, regardless of age, at no cost, subject to availability. All donated equipment will be sanitized, refurbished, and redistributed. This service will greatly improve the mobility and quality of life of many Maryland residents.
Donations Needed: The Maryland Department of Aging is currently accepting donations of Durable Medical Equipment. Donated equipment will be sanitized and refurbished to later be provided to adults and children who need equipment. For more information on how you can donate, please visit the Maryland Department of Aging DME Program or call 240-230-8000.
Environmental: Protect our landfills! Maryland Durable Medical Equipment Re-Use is currently accepting donations of new or gently-used durable medical equipment. Please visit our website for a list of collection sites across the state. These tax-deductible donations will not only improve someone’s quality of life, but also substantially improve the environment by diverting discarded equipment from our landfills.
