Discount Medical Mobility Equipment Supplies Recognized as a Certified Green Business by the City of Riverside

Discount Medical Mobility Equipment & Supplies is thrilled to announce our official recognition as a Certified Green Business by the City of Riverside. This certification is not only a significant milestone for our company but a reflection of our core values—care for the community, commitment to environmental sustainability, and dedication to improving quality of life through mobility solutions.

The certification is part of Riverside’s recently relaunched Green Business Program, a forward-thinking initiative designed to help local businesses adopt environmentally responsible practices. Relaunched in 2024 in partnership with the California Green Business Network, this program offers free consulting and support to businesses like ours, helping them reduce their environmental impact, improve efficiency, and be recognized for their contributions to a cleaner, healthier city.

On June 24, 2025, Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson issued a proclamation naming 13 businesses—including Discount Medical—as Certified Green Businesses. This honor places us in the company of other environmentally committed organizations that are shaping Riverside into a hub of innovation, clean technology, and sustainability. We are deeply proud to be part of this effort and to help lead the charge toward a greener, more resilient local economy.

Our Green Commitment in Action

Our Green Commitment in Action
At Discount Medical, our mission has always gone beyond products. While we specialize in providing affordable, high-quality mobility scooters, powerchairs, lift chairs, and durable medical supplies, we believe that how we operate matters just as much as what we offer. As part of the Green Business certification process, we adopted and strengthened practices that help conserve energy, use water more efficiently, and minimize waste. These efforts aren’t just checkboxes—they’re embedded into our daily operations and company culture.

Our team has worked diligently to integrate eco-conscious practices across all departments. We’ve upgraded lighting and energy systems to improve efficiency, enhanced our recycling and waste diversion processes, and implemented employee wellness initiatives designed to reduce environmental strain while supporting a healthy workplace. We’ve also taken active steps to educate staff on sustainability practices and encourage their participation in shaping a greener workplace culture.

Additionally, we’ve made improvements that enhance customer experience while aligning with green goals. From printing less paper to optimizing delivery routes and offering in-house equipment repairs to extend product life, we are focused on doing business in a way that supports the environment and serves our customers responsibly.

The Role of Sustainability in Community Health

The Role of Sustainability in Community Health
Sustainability is not a trend—it’s a responsibility. In the healthcare and mobility industries, the connection between environmental and personal health is clear. By reducing our environmental footprint, we contribute to cleaner air, healthier communities, and long-term wellness for our customers and their families. This aligns directly with our larger purpose: to help people live more independently, comfortably, and safely—especially those with mobility challenges, chronic conditions, or recovering from surgery or injury.

Our inclusion in Riverside’s Certified Green Business list is also a testament to the strength of our community ties. We’ve been proudly serving the Riverside and Inland Empire areas for over 25 years, and our reputation is built on more than products—it’s built on relationships. We partner with local senior centers, healthcare providers, and home care organizations, and our team is dedicated to improving lives not just with mobility solutions, but with compassion, education, and support.

Why Local Leadership Matters

Why Local Leadership Matters
As a locally owned and operated business, we have a unique ability to be responsive, adaptable, and accountable. While national franchises may focus on volume, we focus on value—providing personalized service, custom fittings, and a unique “Test It Before You Buy It” process that allows customers to experience their equipment in real-world conditions before making a purchase.

Becoming a Certified Green Business adds another layer of leadership and accountability to our role in the community. We believe this certification is not the end of our sustainability journey, but the beginning of a deeper commitment to improving how we operate and how we support our neighbors.

Looking Ahead: Join the Movement

Looking Ahead Join the Movement
Our Green Business certification is just one part of our ongoing mission to combine exceptional service, innovative care, and environmental stewardship. We encourage other local businesses to consider joining Riverside’s Green Business Program, which provides valuable support and recognition for those making the shift toward sustainability. The benefits go far beyond energy savings; they include greater team morale, customer loyalty, and a more resilient community.
