Founded in 2005, Clinics Can Help is a place where individuals can donate their gently used medical equipment so it can be cleaned, refurbished and donated to people in need in the county. In the last year, Clinics Can Help assisted more than 2,800 clients new by donating more than $1.1 million worth of medical equipment and supplies.
“The model that Clinics Can Help employs to improve healthcare through the provision of medical equipment and supplies is something that I am honored to be a part of. We are ensuring access to a critical part of medical care that often gets overlooked or falls to the wayside due to costs. I am excited for the future and the work we can do together,” shared Mariaca.
In addition to collecting and donating gently used equipment, Clinics Can Help runs a KINDER Project which provides new and customized medical equipment for children with special needs, and a CRIBS program that provides new pack ‘n play cribs for newborn and infant children whose families cannot afford a safe sleep environment.
