Community Caregivers of Greater Derry - Loaner's Closet -
The Loaner’s Closet was started in 2003 when they saw the need, among the low-income elderly and disabled individuals they serve, for common medical items that they could not afford or were not readily available to them. And because they work with the elderly and disabled, they were often offered used medical equipment by former clients and their families when that equipment was no longer needed. The Closet, which started as a small collection in their back office, now takes up nearly a 1/3 of their 4,100 square foot lease complete with a waiting room, resource center, two showrooms, a cleaning room, workshop, overstock room and office space. They currently have nearly 14,000 pieces of equipment available or out on loan. So if you are in need of medical equipment that you would like to borrow until you can get one of your own or because you may only need it for a short time check out what they have to offer. https://comcaregivers.org/loaners-closet/
Direct Primary Care
What is direct primary care? Direct Primary Care or DPC, is a subscription based approach to family practice. The traditional model of family practice is this: once a year you have a physical - you pay for that visit (or your insurance pays). When you get sick or need a follow up visit for a chronic problem (like diabetes or high blood pressure) you go to the doctor and pay for the visit (or your insurance pays).
In the DPC model, the patient pays a monthly fee (like a gym membership). You get your annual physical (which is covered by your membership) and you go to the doctor as often as you and the doctor think you need to be seen.
The advantage of this model is that both patient and doctor know what their costs or income will be. The insurance company is not the middleman. It cuts down on excessive administrative costs. It can be cost effective model for small businesses when used in conjunction with an HSA, PPO or catastrophic health care package.
