Maryland durable equipment reuse
The Maryland Department of Aging provides FREE durable medical equipment to Marylanders with any illness, injury, or disability, regardless of age, at no cost. All equipment is collected via donation and is sanitized, repaired, and redistributed to Marylanders in need. The DME program is improving the quality of life for many Maryland residents by providing the opportunity to avoid costlier levels of care.
