Lift Chair Program

---

Our program provides lift chairs designed specifically to assist in mobility and recovery. These chairs enable users to move from a fully reclined position to standing with minimal effort, reducing bodily strain and expediting the recovery process. 

The program started in 2017 when a kindhearted donation inspired a movement. One lift chair was gifted to a preventative surgery patient, who later passed it along to help another individual in need. What began as a single act of generosity has grown into a full-scale community program with 35 lift chairs available today. 

Thanks to frequent referrals from surgeons, local nonprofits, and community members we have served hundreds of patients with this program.

Our lift chairs are here to help individuals who are high-risk or recovering. Here’s how they benefit you:

• Facilitate movement while promoting healing.
• Provide additional comfort after surgery.
• Help individuals regain independence during a critical phase of recovery. 

The program is ideal for those recovering from procedures like a prophylactic mastectomy, cancer-related surgery, or other medical interventions related to hereditary cancer syndromes. 

Do you think a lift chair could help with your recovery? Here’s what you need to know before applying:

• Our lift chairs accommodate a weight limit of up to 280 lbs. 
• If you have pets, a pet-friendly chair may be required. Similarly, individuals with pet allergies will be carefully matched with pet-free chairs for their safety and comfort.
• Are you a smoker? We’ll take that into consideration during the chair’s placement to ensure responsible care. 
• To aid our chair volunteers, applicants with access to transportation to pick up the chair and bring it to their home are appreciated. If transportation is a barrier, once per monthly delivery may be available.
