FRESNO, Calif., and NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As part of a new agreement Sunrise Medical will offer patients within Veterans Affairs the option to install LUCI’s safety technology system on its QUICKIE power wheelchairs straight from the factory. It’s the first agreement of its kind for LUCI, which launched in 2020 and which announced its compatibility with the QUICKIE line of wheelchairs in July 2021, after more than a year of collaboration between the two companies. “We’re excited and grateful that Sunrise Medical is so attuned to the needs of their drivers, and particularly to the needs of America’s veterans, to form this innovative partnership and help QUICKIE drivers access LUCI’s life-changing technology,” said Barry Dean, LUCI co-founder and CEO. “We’ve been fortunate to call them our partners for more than a year, and as our teams have continued to collaborate, we’ve continued to find great ways to fulfill our join mission of improving people’s lives. This is an important step forward in what continues to be a strong and successful partnership.” Sunrise Medical opened a production facility in Nashville in late 2021 where LUCI products can be installed on the three most popular QUICKIE models as they are built. VA patients were able to request and receive LUCI on their chairs beginning Nov. 1.
