Services
Eligibility for Services & Intake Application
Durable Medical
Equipment (DME)
We accept previously owned medical equipment from individuals,
nursing homes, medical equipment companies, etc. and refurbish,
repair, and sanitize these items. Once the equipment has been
processed, we distribute it to qualified, low-income persons
with disabilities. Our Case Managers also assist clients who are
in need of additional services with referrals and information
to other resources.
Project MEND will also repair equipment distributed
to clients, and if available, will provide the client with
a loaner while the client’s equipment is being fixed.
We also deliver heavy medical equipment such
as hospital beds, scooters, and motorized wheelchairs for a
small fee, within Bexar County only. Our technician will set
up hospital beds and provide our clients with instructions
on the proper use and care of the equipment. There is a small
fee for any repair or delivery service requested by the client.

MEND carries includes:

help clients pay for specialized or fitted devices, such

shoes; and assistive technology medically necessary for rehabilitation and recovery. Project MEND assists with a maximum

the client to purchase these items at a reduced
rate.
