Partners for World Health accepts a wide variety of medical supplies and medical equipment through its Medical Supply and Equipment Collection Program. The nonprofit recovers viable medical goods that might otherwise be discarded and redistributes supplies to underserved people and partner organizations in Maine, New England and abroad. This can be especially useful when an estate includes clean, usable medical-assistive items or equipment. Donors should review current acceptance guidance and contact the Portland office before bringing specialized, opened, expired, recalled or large medical items because suitability and handling requirements can vary.
