WHAT is the PACE Unit?
PACE (Progress toward Accessible Community Experiences) is a mobile unit providing a safe, accessible space for personal care at events and public spaces.
With features like an adjustable changing table, ceiling hoist, and climate control, PACE ensures comfort and dignity for individuals with diverse needs. It's more than a changing unit—it's about making communities inclusive for all.
