Emergency Medical Loan Closet (MLC)

Etowah UMC maintains an inventory of commonly used medical equipment to loan to people in our community in temporary need. We impose no time limits for these loans, for which there is no charge (we welcome donations from those who choose to provide them.)  All we ask is that clients sign a form used for inventory control, do not give the equipment to others, and return it in its original condition when it is no longer needed.
Stewards are available to meet with clients to issue equipment and to receive returns.  Clients can call the church office to arrange these meetings.
The following is a list of the equipment types we possess.
