COLUMBIA, S.C. — Life just got a little easier for those with mobility issues due to a medical equipment giveaway from one local program.
On Friday, the South Carolina Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) hosted its annual free-for-all event in northeast Columbia. The giveaway included a variety of medical devices and support equipment, all available for free.
Program manager Rayshell Johnson says anyone can receive equipment from the group.
“Anyone can come; they either have a disability themselves, or they are coming to pick up something for a family member, or maybe they’re a caregiver for someone,” said Rachell Johnson, the program manager for SCATP.
In 2023, the Assistive Technology Program saved South Carolinians over $220,000 in equipment costs.
If you missed Friday’s event, don’t worry. The program is ready to help year-round. For more information, visit the South Carolina Assistive Technology website or call 803-935-5263.
