Convalescent Aid Society

Convalescent Aid Society (CAS) is a registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization based in Pasadena, California. Founded in 1923, the organization focuses on providing free Durable Medical Equipment (DME) to individuals in the San Gabriel Valley. CAS employs 15 people and generates $2.5 million in annual revenue. CAS offers a wide range of DME, including nursing beds, wheelchairs, commodes, walkers, and other mobility aids. These items are loaned to residents free of charge, helping them recover or reside comfortably in their preferred environments. The organization aims to promote dignity and independence for its clients while supporting their families and loved ones. A key differentiator for CAS is its commitment to sustainability. CAS accepts donated medical equipment, professionally sanitizes and repairs it when needed, and then loans it back out to individuals in need. This helps reduce waste and make DME more accessible to a wider population.
