Home Medical Equipment

Helping You Transition from Hospital Back Home

There’s a lot to manage when you or a loved one goes home from the hospital. DCH Home Medical Equipment is here to help with the quality medical equipment and supplies needed to make that transition safer and more comfortable.
We provide equipment and services to patients who have prescriptions from their doctors, and we also operate a retail store in the Phelps Outpatient Center on the campus of DCH Regional Medical Center.  A wide range of equipment can be delivered directly to your home, and in many cases we can bill your insurance for you.
