Our Equipment Loan Program is designed to help ALS patients in BC and the Yukon to cope with the daily challenges of decreasing mobility and loss of independence by providing basic and essential assistive equipment. These include mobility equipment and communication devices.
Patients are offered equipment if they are unable to obtain it from any other source. This could be people who have no extended benefits, minimal benefits or limited financial resources.
