The Used Mobility Equipment Drive strives to provide equipment used by patients when they return home. Many of our patients do not have the means to afford mobility equipment that they need to return to living their best lives.
Some Items we are looking to collect for our patients:
- Wheel Chairs
- Walkers
- Crutches
- Toilet Chairs
- Shower/bathing Chairs
- Knee Scooters
The inpatient rehabilitation unit at Newman Regional Health (located on the 2nd floor) is dedicated to helping patients who have been affected by conditions such as stroke, neurological disorders, orthopedic procedures, hip fractures, amputations, and major trauma.
We provide intensive therapy programs that assist patients in developing new skills, relearning previous skills, and fostering a healthy return to enjoyable life activities. Patients find our program is different from a routine hospital stay. We believe that caring for patients means helping them learn to do as much for themselves as possible.
