 Granite State Living Independent Living, a Concord-based nonprofit that promotes quality of life with independence for people with disabilities, is taking ownership of Crotched Mountain Foundation’s Refurbished Equipment Marketplace. Also located in Concord, REM specializes in rehabilitating previously owned donated medical equipment — including wheelchairs, lifts and standers — and selling them at reduced costs. Deborah
Ritcey, CEO of Granite State Independent Living, calls Refurbished
Equipment Marketplace ‘a critical asset that will benefit countless
Granite Staters who need these supplies as a part of their day-to-day
lives.’ “One of the greatest barriers to independence for GSIL consumers is the cost of the
equipment needed to provide basic mobility, and this partnership
protects an affordable option for those who need specific medical
equipment that can be incredibly expensive,” said
Deborah Ritcey, CEO of GSIL. “This is a critical asset that will
benefit countless Granite Staters who need these supplies as a part of
their dayto-day lives.” REM’s showroom is at 57
Regional Drive in Concord, where it takes donations and cleans, fixes
and updates equipment. It sells the equipment to customers at the
showroom or though shoprem.com. “REM is such a unique, important service that makes needed, often expensive medical products much more affordable,” said Ritcey. See also
