Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s Equipment Program provides encouragement to individuals affected by neuromuscular disorders. Next to finding cures, the highest priority for individuals affected is the need for essential equipment. MDC’s longstanding equipment program has assisted thousands of individuals to obtain the equipment needed to enhance their quality of life. By working with other funders and the government, we share resources to best leverage donor dollars to cover the costs of assistive devices, equipment and accessible technology.

This program is offered under protest as we believe that it is the responsibility of the government to meet the legitimate equipment needs of Canadians with neuromuscular disorders in order to enable their independence and full participation in the community. It is Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s long-term goal to move away entirely from equipment funding. To achieve this goal, Muscular Dystrophy Canada will advocate and take action so that changes are made by the governments. This program is offered as an interim measure until that goal is achieved.
