About the Program:
Donating a Machine:
To donate a CPAP or BiPAP machine, or to donate another respiratory machine (e.g. a pre-owned nebulizer or oxygen concentrator), please contact Diane Grant at dianegrant@ns.lung.ca or by phone at (902) 443-8141 ext. 28 or at our toll-free number (1-888-566-5864). Please provide the following information on the machine:
- Type of Machine
- Make and Model
- Age
- Condition/Description
- Sellers Name / Email and or Phone Number
For donations outside of HRM, Lions Clubs across Nova Scotia collect these machines on our behalf.
For those living in Sydney, Cape Breton, you can drop off machines at The Heart & Lung Wellness Centre in Sydney (200 Churchill Drive, Suite #101). They can be reached by phone at 902-563-8566.
I Need a Machine:
If you have been disagnosed with sleep apnea, have a valid prescription and cannot afford therapy (no insurance, fixed income), we can add you to our wait list to receive a refubished sleep apnea machine. To be added to our waitlist, please call Diane Grant at 902-443-8141 x28 or email dianegrant@ns.lung.ca. You will need to do three things:
1. Provide us with a signed waiver form - you can download it HERE
2. Provide us with a valid prescription from your doctor (an RX)
3. Agree that if you accept a machine from the Lung Association of Nova Scotia and no longer use that machine, you will donate it back
