DO YOU HAVE
a used wheelchair, a walker or other
durable medical equipment (DME)? Shannon Medical
Center would like you to donate it.
Donations of any and all DME will be welcomed. Be-
sides wheelchairs and walkers, we are also seeking shower
chairs, tub transfer benches, three-in-one chairs and more.
The donated equipment will be available to anyone in need
in the community with a therapist’s recommendation.
Monetary donations will also be accepted to assist in the
purchase of equipment if donated storage becomes low.
Donations are accepted year-round. To make a mon-
etary donation, please call Suzi Reynolds at

If you have equipment to donate, but are unable deliver it
yourself, you can arrange pickup by calling Paula
