Medical Loan Closet

Catholic Charities Medical Supply Loan Closet helps individuals in need of durable medical equipment in Yavapai County. We have two Northern Arizona Medical Loan Closet locations in Cottonwood and Prescott.

Borrowing Medical Supplies

Individuals who need medical supplies due to an injury or surgery can contact our office to inquire about medical supply availability. Our supply of medical equipment is constantly changing but some of the supplies that are typically available include:

Crutches
Walkers
Raised toilet seats and commodes
Knee scooters
Wheelchairs

Items in the Medical Loan Closet are available by appointment on a first-come, first-served basis. Some items require a small non-refundable deposit. Once items are no longer needed, we ask that they are returned for the next person in need.

Medical Loan Closet Promotes Mobility and Independence

At 65 years old, Lorena injured her knee and struggled to recover. She had problems walking and couldn’t get to her kitchen, bathroom or bedroom independently. Lorena had a fixed income and couldn’t afford expensive medical equipment.

Lorena’s friend learned about Catholic Charities Medical Loan Closet. She borrowed a cane, knee brace, raised toilet seat and a mobile toilet. The borrowed equipment provided Lorena with much more than a helping hand; it allowed her to maintain her independence and dignity. Lorena said the equipment “saved me” during her recovery.
