STAMFORD, Conn. – Wheel It Forward, a volunteer-run community library that lends out and accepts donations of DME, has launched the GotDME National Directory (www.GotDME.org). This resource aims to connect individuals in need with organizations across the country that offer free borrowing and donation options for essential DME like wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, rollators, knee scooters, shower safety equipment and more. "This directory fills an important gap by providing easy access to existing lending organizations, most of which don’t have their own websites and are not easy to find through a Google search,” said Elliot Sloyer, founder & CEO of Wheel It Forward. “Based on Wheel it Forward’s inquiry data, there are likely millions of people every year scrambling to borrow and donate durable medical equipment across the USA.” GotDME's National Directory will also be collecting data about each lending organization related to how many people they serve, and how much and what types of equipment they lend out and accept. The goal is to identify data points and trends in DME lending to make the industry more impactful. To learn more about the GotDME National Directory, please visit www.GotDME.org
