KC HELP
The Knights Community Hospital Equipment Lend Program
About KC Help
We are group of dedicated volunteers that have been helping people and families within the Tri-Cities area since 1996.
Anyone, even you can help us by either donating medical equipment to KC Help or making a monetary donation!
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I qualify?
No qualifications are needed. We provide the equipment based on need. Especially to those whose insurance coverage does not cover in-home rental.
What if I'm only insured for some items?
If your insurance can cover some of the needed items, we will try and supply the other things you need.
Do you need to be a member of the Knights?
No, this program helps anyone in the Community that has a need and can't obtain it through their insurance.
Do I have to give you any lead time?
Knowing in advance always helps us plan, but don't hesitate to call anytime. Accidents aren't planned, but when they happen, we will help.
Will I have to pick it up?
IF You Can. KC Help has limited volunteers to be able to deliver and pick up equipment, except in special circumstances. Please call us for information. IF you have friends or family that can pick up the equipment at our warehouse. We will help load and instruct them on its use. Pick up or returned equipment to our warehouse at:

What if I need the equipment a long time?
We will work with you to keep the equipment in your home as long as we possibly can. We will try to help everyone we can. Likewise, if we get low on available equipment and a critical need occurs, we may need to work something out. But we won't abandon you.
Can I make a donation?
Donations are always appreciated: the KC HELP is a non-profit charitable organization. We do not, however, expect you to make a donation nor will you ever be asked.
