International Ventilator Users Network's mission
is to enhance the lives and independence of users
of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) through
education, advocacy, research and networking.
A very nice power wheelchair available for best offer. My sister, Kathleen, used it for six months in a nursing home before she passed. It has an optional, removable vent tray, tilt in space option and joy stick. It comes with a battery and charger. My sister would be happy to know that someone was using it. Although it cost $13,598 new, you may have it for a donation to PHI. If anyone is interested or wishes to see it, call me at 616-304-3412. It is currently in storage at Marywood Dominican Sisters Motherhouse on Fulton St. in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
