Join us for the Ability Tools Reuse Conference on June 20-21, 2016 in Sacramento California. This exciting conference will bring together people from around the country who are working in or want to work in the reuse of assistive technology and durable medical equipment.

Not sure if you should attend? If your organization:

  • Distributes used wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds and other medical equipment to the community;
  • Operates a medical device and equipment Loan Closet or Device Library;
  • Takes in donations of assistive technology/durable medical equipment;
  • Wants to start a reuse program.

If the answer is yes to any of those goals, you should attend the 2016 Ability Tools Reuse Conference on June 20th and 21st!
