HELP: Health Equipment Loan Program

Lady with Walker
Mobility aids can help maintain independence and dignity.
No one expects to suffer illness or injury that affects their mobility, their independence or dignity -- yet it happens to hundreds of people in Central and Northern Alberta every day: The child who needs crutches after a fall from a bike, or a senior who requires a wheelchair, cane or walker after slipping in the bathtub.

Health care reform has reduced the duration of hospitalization, requiring more Canadians to recover from illness, surgery or injury while at home -- where equipment to provide comfort and mobility is often not available.

Many people in Central and Northern Alberta struggle with the tremendous financial burden that illness or injury can bring. The cost of purchasing or renting medical equipment is far beyond the means of many of those who need it most.
