Medical Lending
For decades, River Terrace Church has operated a medical lending service to the greater Lansing area community, providing temporary use of durable medical equipment.
Medical equipment can be expensive, and often, patients do not need to keep items like walkers, wheelchairs, and shower chairs long after medical procedures.
Our Faith-in-Action committee decided to help and provide this lending service, free of charge.
Below are photos of items similar to what we have in our medical lending closet.

To request an item:
- Call our church office at (517) 351-9059 to be sure we have the item you need.
- If so, come to the church office during our lending hours (10 AM to 1 PM, Monday through Thursday). If you cannot come, someone can come on your behalf, as long as they have your name, address, and phone number.
Our address is 1509 River Terrace Drive, East Lansing, MI 48823. The building runs parallel to Hagadorn Road, about half a mile south of Grand River Avenue, across from MSU’s Hubbard Hall.
Please return the item borrowed when you are finished with it, for others’ use.
