Funding for Mobility Equipment through HHS

Initiative Description

The Children's Special Health Services division of Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services reached out to MonTECH about additional funding for pediatric mobility and positioning equipment. We entered into a contract with them to purchase $25,906 worth of equipment that would be housed by MonTECH but accessible to their clients across the state for loan and demonstration. 

Lessons Learned/Replication

CSHS and MonTECH developed a contract for spending the funds and the items are all attributed to the generosity fo CSHS on the MonTECH website. A member of MonTECH serves on the CSHS funding committee to share info about items that are used, as well as future items that might need to be purchased with additional funding.
