Equipment to Enhance the Neuromuscular Research Lab

The UC Davis Neuromuscular Research Lab serves patients with limited mobility requiring wheelchairs.  Having a large research portfolio, many of our patients require their weight measured safely and accurately.  Obtaining our own lift scale would allow us to be a more self-sufficient lab, as well as be more patient friendly.  Currently, staff and patients will need to travel from the 3^rd floor to the 1^st floor clinic area to obtain a weight. The clinic lift scale is located in a commonly used hallway and we need to coordinate when it is convenient for clinic operations. Having our own lift scale will allow for patient visits to  be shorter and more private.  

If we fundraise beyond the amount needed for a lift scale, we would like to use the extra donations to purchase a standup scale and a medical grade vacuum unit.  Both items would assist us in running a self-reliant lab. Your donation will support the Neuromuscular Research Lab and our current need for equipment to assist us in running a self-reliant lab.
