Talbot County Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) is celebrating Mobile Integrated Health Month this October with a medical supply drive to help community members remain safe, healthy and independent at home.

Throughout the month, residents are invited to donate new or gently used medical and household supplies that can be distributed to individuals served by the MIH program.

“Many of the people we work with need simple items that can make a significant difference in their ability to safely remain at home,” said Rachael Cox, Talbot County Special Programs Coordinator. “The community has been incredibly generous in supporting this effort, and these donations allow us to connect residents with supplies they may otherwise have difficulty obtaining.”

MIH is asking the public to donate only items currently included on its wish list. Residents who have other medical equipment or supplies they would like to donate should contact Cox before bringing those items to a drop-off location.

Requested donations include:

• Personal hygiene items: shampoo and conditioner, body wash, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, razors, washcloths and towels
• Household supplies: laundry detergent, dryer sheets, paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, disinfectant wipes, dish soap, sponges and food storage bags or containers
• Incontinence supplies
• First aid items: AAA and AA batteries, CR23 batteries, bandages, gauze, adhesive tape, antiseptic wipes, reusable cold/hot packs and new compression stockings
• Home safety items: non-slip shower mats, night lights, shower and bathroom grab bars, and new, in-box smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms
• Pharmacy gift cards to help purchase over-the-counter medications and other medical supplies not covered by insurance

Donations may be dropped off at the Talbot County Health Department, 510 Cadmus Lane, Easton, or the Talbot County Department of Emergency Services, 28640 Marys Court, Easton.

Residents with questions about donations or items not included on the wish list should contact Rachael Cox at 443-239-6999 or rcox@talbotcountymd.gov.

Talbot County Mobile Integrated Health works with community members outside of the traditional emergency response setting, connecting residents with health care, resources and support designed to reduce preventable emergencies and help individuals safely manage their health at home.
