There are 2 options to donate equipment. One is to fill in a form on our website, located on the "Support Us" page. Once you are there, click on "Equipment Donations". Then, fill out the form with the requested information The other way to donate equipment is to simply email us at medicalequipmentfoundation@gmail.com. Please put "Equipment Donation" in the subject line so that your email makes it onto our priority list. Let us know what kind of equipment you have, its relative condition, and a time and place convenient for inspection and pick-up.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept equipment that is broken and/or damaged as we currently have no means of repairing the equipment. All equipment is inspected by an expert to ensure its safety and anything that does not meet these standards cannot be accepted.

We conduct quality checks over donated equipment before we accept it. However, we are not responsible for any issues that may arise from future use of the equipment once donated.

Currently, MEC is partnered with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Ontario, Carefor, and the University of Ottawa's Student Academic Success Services (SASS). These organizations provide us a list of people in the community in need of medical equipment and recipients are chosen on the basis of financial need.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide a warranty on donated equipment. If your equipment does end up breaking or malfunctioning, please contact us and we will place you back on the list of those in need of equipment.

Unfortunately, with the current high demand from our community partners and our short supply, we do not accept equipment requests at the moment. You can try to contact our partners on the "Outreach" page to see if they can help you in the meantime.

Yes! If your equipment need is temporary, we are happy to recollect it and give it to someone else who may be in need.

The club usually accepts new members at the beginning of the Fall and Winter Semesters. To join, simply send an email to uottawamec@gmail.com with you name and, if applicable, which committee you are most interested in joining. We also participate in the semsterly club fair, so you can sign up for more information by visiting our booth. You will be added to our member mailing list and be notified of upcoming meetings. Please note that for the 2018-19 school year, given the situation with the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) , the club is currently not receving any funding. As a result, we are asking all members to provide a $5 - $10 membership fee to help offset costs, which should be brought to the first meeting. The Fundraising and Sponsorship Committees are currently full for the Winter 2019 Semester.

The club usually holds one (1) 1-hour general meeting per month. Each committee also holds meetings with its members specifically, usually at the discretion of the committee head. Committee meetings are roughly 1 hour each and occur about every 2 weeks. Meeting times are selected via a vote from all members.
