REquipment is excited to expand our inventory and offer quality, gently used assistive technology (AT) to residents of Massachusetts.

As with durable home medical equipment, the offering of the program is dependent on what is donated by the community. This is a great way to ensure that empowering technology does not sit on a shelf, in a drawer, or in the back of a closet.
