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.
