Adaptation & Equipment Program
The Adaptation and Equipment Program operated by the Catfish Chapter houses limited durable medical equipment that is normally not covered by insurance. If other resources have been exhausted and equipment is available the Chapter may be able to loan the needed equipment to assist PALS in daily living needs. If and when the equipment is no longer needed, it can be returned to the Chapter for use by other PALS.
