RCIL serves as the Northeast Kansas access site for the Kansas Equipment Exchange (KEE) program and is holding equipment drives this month! Can YOU help? Do you have unneeded equipment taking up space?
Did you know that your lightly used durable medical equipment can help a Kansan with a disability who needs assistive technology, but can’t afford it? The KEE reuse program accepts donated equipment that can be refurbished to high quality standards and then given, free of charge, to Kansans with disabilities and health conditions who need them.
KEE accepts donations such as: Manual & Powered wheelchairs, scooters & power operated vehicles, communication devices, home care / hospital beds, patient lifts, shower chairs, standers & gait trainers, bi-pap / c-pap machines, and walkers with seats & handbrakes.
