City of Revere Department of Public Health Launches Home Medical Equipment Loan Program
The City of Revere, Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr., and the Department of Public Health launched the new Home Medical Equipment Loan Program on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. The program, which was initiated by Councillor-at-Large Bob Haas III, will provide free medical equipment loans to Revere residents, with the intent of easing the cost-burden on families.
The program will provide basic home medical equipment necessities for free to residents on a case-by-case basis. Available equipment includes canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and more.
The City of Revere will be accepting donations of new or gently-used home medical equipment, only after an initial screening call with the Department of Public Health at 781-485-8486. Please do not drop-off medical equipment at public buildings without talking with the Department of Public Health first as there is limited storage for these items.
If you are looking for specific equipment for yourself or a loved one to use, please call the Department of Public Health at 781-485-8486 to check availability. Items must be picked up from Revere City Hall.
