DME Exchange will collect, restore and distribute idle medical equipment, bringing relief and hope to thousands of patients in need. When you volunteer a few hours a week, you'll feel uplifted as you help keep the DME Exchange center open daily and ease the recovery of Dallas County residents.
You can return your idle medical equipment to a useful life while enriching the life of an ill or injured neighbor - and possibly earn yourself an income tax deduction.We rely on volunteers to sanitize and inspect dozens of pieces of DME just in time for distribution to patients who need them.

Their research showed 25,000 to 50,000 people in Dallas County suffer in silence every year because they can't afford a wheelchair, a hospital bed or other durable medical equipment (DME) a doctor prescribed for their recovery and independence.
DME Exchange is answering the challenge - a "green" clearinghouse that will collect, refurbish and sanitize idle equipment from thousands of garages and attics across Dallas County, then match it with the ill and injured whose income and insurance won't cover doctor-ordered equipment.No longer must patients face delayed release from hospitals, a hardship that increases hospital crowding and pushes up medical costs for everyone.

To provide relief of pain and suffering for people with acute injury or illness and to improve the independence, self-sufficiency and mobility of people with chronic illnesses, DME Dallas will collect, refurbish, sanitize and distribute used durable medical equipment (DME) to residents of Dallas County who cannot afford to purchase or rent it.
We will work through a 501(c)(3) organization to collect, refurbish, sanitize, evaluate for safety, and distribute DME through clinics, hospitals and other nonprofit or charitable organizations. We will establish a location for storage and a process to collect and distribute the refurbished DME to individuals who are without sufficient income or without health insurance, or have insurance which does not cover certain DME items.
Several congregations - Temple Emanu-El, St. Rita Catholic Community and Temple Shalom - of Dallas Area Interfaith (DAI) have played key roles in the conception and formation of DME Exchange of Dallas. DAI is a multi-ethnic, multi-issue group of diverse congregations and organizations in the Dallas, Texas, area.
While helping ill or injured patients rebuild their lives, DME Exchange also gives new life to durable medical equipment that otherwise sits idle in garages, attics and storerooms or takes up space in community landfills. Reuse saves resources used in manufacturing new durable medical equipment and helps the local environment and demand on taxpayers by putting less into landfills.
