"Ministry" Funding - CSA under MHSD
Clients of the BC Government Ministry of Housing & Social Development (MHSD) receive funding for wheelchairs and a specific list of other durable medical equipment for in-the-home use under the Corporate Supply Agreement (CSA). The current CSA is valid until August 31, 2010. Equipment supplied under the CSA is covered by a 2 year warranty.

International Seating Symposium (ISS) - Air Cushion Announcements
All the SelfCare sales staff attended ISS and had very positive feedback about the courses they attended. ROHO and Jay have teamed up to produce 2 similar, but different cushions using a Jay base and ROHO air insert. Vicair has new softer cells which optimize the density of the cushion so less, if any cells will need to be removed to adjust the cushion to the user. > ISS Air Cushion Announcement |
Thank You Mailed to SelfCare
A wonderful full page thank you was received by SelfCare. Here are some of the kind words from the daughter of our customer.
"[SelfCare's] understanding, empahty, professionalism and product knowledge helped us immensely in safely navigating this difficult passage [for our Mother]. Your commitment to taking care of all the details and paperwork enabled us to focus on mom's recovery and subsequent rehabilitation ... Perhaps, often overlooked, and most important, is the sincere and genuine care that was provided to our family with this matter... The commitment and quality service is evident in every piece of equipment, ... all of which have made a positive difference in (her) well-being...
Thank you for the quality assistance, superior product knowledge, care and commitment and making a positive difference in the life of (her)." |
