Crotched Mountain Foundation Reaches Agreement to Transition Pre-Owned Medical Equipment Vendor
MANCHESTER – Crotched Mountain Foundation has signed a grant agreement with Granite State Independent Living to transfer ownership of the Refurbished Equipment Marketplace (REM) to GSIL. Located in Concord, New Hampshire, REM is one of the region’s largest suppliers of refurbished medical equipment like manual and power wheelchairs, lifts, walkers, standers, and more.
Crotched Mountain Foundation has operated REM over a decade, but when the opportunity to find REM a new home presented with GSIL, the two organizations moved forward swiftly.
“GSIL is a perfect fit to take REM into the future,” said Ned Olney, President and CEO of Crotched Mountain Foundation. “REM has helped so many people with disabilities over the years and by partnering with our good friends at GSIL, we can assure our clients that REM will continue to grow and to support all of those who have relied on its services. This agreement made all the sense in the world. As one of the largest providers of services for adults with disabilities in New Hampshire, GSIL’s management of REM, the state’s largest provider of refurbished medical equipment, will add another dimension to GSIL’s impressive suite of services. I am so excited to see REM expand and positively impact even more lives.”
REM will remain in its showroom at 57 Regional Drive in Concord, continuing to take in donations, clean, fix, and update equipment, and sell to customers via the showroom or the REM website at shoprem.com at significant discounts.
“REM is such a unique, important service that makes needed, often expensive medical products much more affordable,” Deborah Ritcey, CEO of Granite State Independent Living. “We are excited to work with Crotched Mountain Foundation to make this transition seamless and to continue to offer the high-quality equipment and service that REM is known for throughout the region. This program has been well-managed for years and served countless families. It’s our honor to work with them to keep this vision alive for years to come.”
