#GoodNews: U of U Starts Refurbish Project for Prosthetics

When Mohan Sudabattula was studying at the University of Utah and volunteering in the prosthetics department at a nearby hospital, he noticed that whenpatients outgrew a prosthetic, the device wouldjustbe thrown away.He started to wonderifthere was a way to use old medical equipment to help others. He launched Project Embrace - a nonprofit that collects secondhand crutches, wheelchairs, orthotic braces, walkers, slings, and rehabilitative gear for reuse. Mohan and a team of volunteers collect the equipment by scouring the shelves of thrift stores and accepting personal donations from community members. After the gear is cleaned and refurbished, the group sends it to disadvantaged medical facilities around the world.
