Location to increase donations of vital medical equipment and supplies to those in need

October 1 is the official move date for Clinics Can Help (CCH), the West Palm Beach based nonprofit helping those in Palm Beach County with improved healthcare through the provision of medical equipment and supplies. Following its July 12 ground breaking on National Disability Awareness Day, the nationally recognized nonprofit is excited to offer more benefits for its clients’ medical needs through its expanded facilities.

The expansion includes 5,000 sq. ft. of office space, as well as a significantly larger warehouse which will help the organization meet the growing needs of children and adults across the county access vital medical equipment. CCH has become the answer for many families and individuals who are unable to attain the wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds and other necessary medical equipment needed to improve, or to simply manage, their lives.

During the past decade, CCH has become locally and nationally recognized for its innovative programs such as the Lending Closet, which matches those in medical and financial need with donated items. Response has been overwhelming for CCH’s KINDER (Kids In Need of Durable Equipment Right now) Project, which seeks and provides special adaptive strollers, wheelchairs and other equipment for children with serious medical conditions.

“We have been able to provide more than $820,000 in reusable medical supplies and equipment last year alone,” said CCH Founder and President Owen O’Neill. “Thanks to generous donations of equipment and funds, we are able to provide hundreds of wheelchairs, hospital beds, walkers, and wound care supplies to children and adults throughout our area.” O’Neill anticipates the new space will allow the organization to reach four times as many clients through the expanded warehouse and administrative facilities.
