NEW ORLEANS (August 20, 2018)—Team Gleason and Quantum Rehab have announced an alliance to serve those with ALS via both Quantum’s financial support and increased access to high-end power chair technology.
Quantum has pledged to contribute $50,000 to Team Gleason's mission. Additionally, Quantum is funding life-enhancing seat elevation technology, such as its iLevel system, for distribution by Team Gleason for those living with ALS.
“We are excited to work with Quantum to provide essential items on power chairs that will increase the independence of people living with ALS,” said Austin Edenfield, technology and care coordinator, Team Gleason Foundation.
“Those living with ALS face daily challenges,” said John Storie, vice president of Quantum Sales-Eastern America. “Access to life-sustaining mobility should not be one of them. “It's our privilege to work with Team Gleason to ensure that those living with ALS have the best mobility technology and the highest quality of life possible.”
Team Gleason is accepting applications from those living with ALS interested in a power seat elevator. Please visit teamgleason.org/technologyfaq to fill out an application and to learn more about the assistive technology program at Team Gleason.
