The Power Mobility Coalition (PMC), is a national coalition of suppliers and manufacturers dedicated to providing power mobility equipment and services to elderly, seriously ill, and disabled Americans.

PMC is dedicated to ensuring that those Americans with legitimate mobility needs have full access to the care and equipment they need to go about their daily lives.

"Power mobility has made a dramatic difference in the lives of our citizens. The development of new technology in the industry has made it possible for citizens to obtain smaller, more lightweight and maneuverable motorized wheelchairs for use inside the home."
