Goodwill home medical equipment Helping People Obtain Adequate Medical Equipment at a Cost By Pam Teel Lorraine Melani is the director of business development for Goodwill Industries. Lorraine represents the Home Medi- cal Division. Her job is to create relationships between Goodwill and organizations so that they can sell equipment or get equipment donated to them. Goodwill Home Medical sells donated DME adult to pediatric that has been sanitized and refurbished at drastically discounted prices. They sell to the general public and to adult and pediatric facilities, as well as schools for children with complex disabilities. They make equipment affordable for all thanks to generous donations. Lorraine goes into the public and creates relationships between Goodwill Home Medical and facilities, hospitals, schools, and the community. She has worked for Goodwill for three and a half years, and in that time she has created so many rela- tionships and told so many people about Goodwill Home Medical through both the hospitals and through her networking contacts. Good Will Home Medical Equipment offers refurbished home medical equipment to individuals and families. They are the number one place to donate un-opened medical supplies in Philadelphia and South Jersey. They are a division of goodwill industries of Southern Jersey and Philadelphia.

All equipment is sanitized and refurbished at their facility in Bellmawr, NJ. With over 50 million people in America without health insurance, sometimes obtaining adequate medical treatment, prescriptions, and home medical supplies can be a challenge. Even for those with health insurance, strict rules and guid- ance can limit access to essentially needed equipment.
