North Dakota IPAT highlights a unique public/private
partnership for rural outreach in their December 2009 AT Key. The partnership is providing low cost
transportation of used AT and durable medical equipment (DME) to residents of
North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota.
The partnership is with CrossCountry Courier, a freight
carrier based in Bismarck ND. CrossCountry Courier has generously volunteered to transport equipment exchanged through the
IPAT Swap and Shop (reuse program) and now the Moorhead based Healthcare Equipment
Recycling Organization (HERO) for a nominal charge. This past fall, HERO
honored IPAT with their Agency Service Award for working out a process so that
people using HERO and/or IPAT's Swap and Shop can benefit from CrossCountry
Courier's generosity.
