When Carrie first came to Mission Central last year, she was recovering from a serious fall that left her with four broken ribs and a punctured lung. After weeks in the hospital and continued recovery in rehab, she was ready to return home.
At 93 years young, Carrie was determined to regain her strength and independence. Through Mission Central’s Medical Equipment Program, she received equipment that helped make her recovery at home possible.
Nearly a year later, Carrie came back to see us...
This time, she returned the equipment she no longer needed and received a four-wheeled rollator and shower chair to help her continue moving safely and independently at home.
This is the heart of our Medical Equipment Program.
In 2025 alone, Mission Central provided more than $2.3 million in free medical equipment to people across our region. Behind that number are neighbors like Carrie, recovering from illness, injury, surgery, and crisis and working toward independence one step at a time.
A walker, wheelchair, shower chair, hospital bed, or other piece of equipment can make an incredible difference for someone who needs it. When you donate medical equipment, give financially, Volunteer, or simply tell someone about this program, you help make stories like Carrie’s possible - you are part of the Mission Central Mission.
