Stretchers (x5)
$40,993 | Replacement

There are 24 stretchers in the ED, which provide patients a comfortable place to

rest during their examination and treatment. Over time, with constant use, the
stretchers lose functionality – they don’t steer well, they lose parts and sustain
damage – making them more difficult for the care team to use, and less comfortable
for patients.
The new stretchers are safer and more comfortable. They include a built-in weighing

system which helps the care team obtain information for giving medications,
responding to trauma, making imaging scans, or even transporting patients to other
healthcare centers. Plus, they work with portable x-ray machines, so the team can
take pictures of the patient without moving them too much.
