Our goals
Educate and assist regional facilities in the benefits of waste reduction.
Assist those in need by providing donated medical supplies and equipment normally discarded into landfills and incinerators.
Provide service learning opportunities for volunteers.
We want to help you start a HERO in your community. Reaching out to other locations will help us continue the mission of saving usable equipment and supplies for the benefit of those in need. By having affiliate locations, we will be able to save more supplies and serve more people.
HERO collects and redistributes donated healthcare supplies to benefit those in need.
December 1996: HERO, Healthcare Equipment Recycling Organization began as “Project HERO” in Fargo, ND. It was started by the local chapter of the Association of Operating Room Nurses (AORN), led by Deanna Micheli, to address the large amount of wasted health care materials from local hospitals, created by the prohibition of re-shelving materials with opened outer wrappings. Initially, HERO’s focus was to collect and redistribute supplies for local medical mission teams serving the Third World.
HERO is excited for the future and looking to expand to be able to serve many communities throughout the US and the world.
HERO accepts donations of usable healthcare supplies and durable medical equipment. Staff and volunteers sort and clean equipment. After supplies are checked, they are redistributed through our retail store for our local community and to medical mission teams for our global community.
By recycling through redistribution we...
"Save a life. Save the earth."
