Wendell Foster’s Assistive Technology (AT) Resource Center will be offering durable medical equipment (DME) cleaning July 22-29. Any person in the community who utilizes DME is invited to get their equipment cleaned, not just those with developmental disabilities.

The cleaning will take place from 9 a.m. to noon in Wendell Foster’s Green Outpatient Therapy Pavilion. Non-electric items, such as standers, gait trainers, adaptive seating, and wheelchairs will be cleaned using the AT Center’s HubScrub, an automated cleaning and disinfection device.

Wendell Foster’s AT Center provides equipment that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. This includes communication devices, adapted computer equipment, switches, seating, positioning, and mobility equipment, and more.

Wendell Foster is a participating member of the Kentucky Assistive Technology Services (KATS) Network, whose mission is to make AT information, devices, and services easily obtainable throughout the state. Wendell Foster’s AT Center serves the Western Kentucky region.

Reservations are required to participate in the DME cleaning. To make a reservation, email Jana Billingsley at [email protected] or call 270-852-1487.
