Meyer Medical Equipment Center
Continuing the adventure
Sharron and Bob arrived at the Meyer Medical Equipment Center having already enjoyed 57 adventure-filled years together, and despite Sharron’s increasing challenges with mobility, they weren’t ready to let the adventure end. We were able to provide them with a folding mobility scooter simple enough for Bob to disassemble in less than a minute and light enough for him to load into the trunk of their car with ease, allowing Sharron to continue enjoying her active lifestyle and Bob to carry on exploring the world with his life companion at his side. Access to medical and mobility equipment can change the life of a person with a disability, as well as those of their family and friends.

Making accessibility equipment accessible for all
Access to medical equipment like Sharron’s scooter can open up worlds for a person with a disability, allowing them to handle tasks of daily living, remain active members of their community, and participate in activities that bring them joy.
One donation, many lives
The MMEC collects donations of durable medical equipment from the community, which we then clean, refurbish, and repair before passing them on to visitors to our warehouses in Bellevue and Tukwila.
Those who access equipment through our program use their items for as long as they need them before re-donating their equipment back to the MMEC—allowing us to serve many people with a single walker, wheelchair, or cane.
