A message from Betsy Pillsbury, Disability Resource Coordinator, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital:
We are seeking artists who are interested in creating a name and logo for a new medical equipment recycling program.
One design will be chosen by the project Team and awarded a $500 honorarium!
Help us develop a consumer-friendly logo for a new medical equipment re-use program in Massachusetts. Funded by the Shapiro Family Foundation, Mass Rehab Commission and Spaulding Rehab Hospital, a new pilot program is starting up to collect donations of gently-used wheelchairs, electric beds, ramps and other medical equipment and re-distribute them free of charge to people in need. Program information and available items will be viewable from MRC's assistive technology website. This new program supports MRC's effort to promote equipment and assistive technology recycling. The pilot program will be starting this fall and expand statewide later in 2014.
