What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

"Access to health care services is important for promoting and maintaining health, preventing and managing disease, reducing unnecessary disability and premature death, and achieving health equity for all persons." According to the article "Disparities of Access, Use, and Barriers to Seeking Health Care Services in Arizona," by Gallaway, Aseret-Manygoats & Tormala (Medical Care (Feb. 1, 2022), Vol. 60:2, p. 113-118), "Among Arizona adults, 13.5% reported lacking HC coverage, 28.7% reported lacking a personal doctor, and medical costs were a barrier to seeking care for 14.1%. Arizonans aged 18-34 years or with a high school education or less more often reported lacking HC coverage, a personal doctor, or not visiting a doctor because of costs."

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

PSMA envisions a more equitable and healthier society where underserved communities and individuals have access to medical supplies and equipment, thus our mission of finding medical surplus and distributing it free of charge to any in need. In CY2022, we took in over 160,000 lbs. of medical equipment and supplies and distributed over 130,000 lbs. Since our founding in 2004, we estimate we have rescued from landfills and dumps, and redistributed, over one million pounds of supplies and equipment throughout the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico.

Our very mission of rescuing hundreds of tons of medical supplies and equipment makes us green, recycle-friendly and promoting a more-sustainable community.

Business-wise:
* We have and continue to install motion-detection lights in offices, hallways and exterior locations;
* We have recycle bins throughout the building, for paper, plastic and aluminum cans;
* Our old computer equipment is donated to our partner organization We Care Tucson for refurbishment, redistribution or recycling;
* Donations that are not medical in nature are given to our partner organization Goodwill, while they bring us medical equipment and supplies;
* Equipment that requires a prescription, such as CPAP machines, which we cannot donate to the public, are distributed to sleep doctors, who can prescribe them and then loan them or give them to their patients who have no health insurance or are waiting for insurance to vest;

Our mission is supported by four FTE employees and dozens of volunteers, with a 4,070 sq. ft. distribution center.

Our business goals are implemented on a daily basis.

You can read above what we have already accomplished. What's next is to step up our capabilities with expanded facilities, staff and equipment to continue to find abundance and fulfill needs.
