Free medical equipment "library," Nashville

https://www.newschannel5.com/news/free-medical-equipment-library-helps-nashville-community-in-need

"A Nashville church is offering free medical equipment to community members, operating like a library where people can borrow items for as long as they need without cost.

Christ Church Nashville on Old Hickory Boulevard runs a medical equipment ministry that provides wheelchairs, rolling walkers, crutches and other medical equipment to those in need.
....
The ministry provides new or gently used equipment that has been sanitized, allowing people to borrow items without financial burden.".... (more)

My parents moved here in the early 80s, and I'm here now, since they've passed away. This community has been doing the same thing for as long as I can remember.

Whatever you need, chances are it's in what we call the medical room.

My mom used a borrowed wheelchair for the last two years of her life. I needed crutches at one point and was able to get them.

I've donated equipment to the cause. It's nice to know that it all gets used, over and over and over.

Every community that can, should do this. Huge savings, and if you need something quickly, you don't have to wait for an order to be shipped to your home, or to send someone shopping for something.
