Transport Wheelchair purchased for Infusion Center

The Infusion Department needed a transport wheelchair that was easy for patients to get in and out of, had comfortable cushioning, and was lightweight and easy to maneuver. Fortunately, PEC had some very generous donors to help with this purchase. Pictured to the right is a patient using a wheelchair after an appointment. Thank you to our donors who continue to make positive impacts on the lives of our patients and staff while they work or receive care at our facility.

Local Donations Help Make Equipment Purchases for EMS

Thanks to generous donations received from staff and community members, the EMS team purchased additional lift-assist devices for the ambulances. These devices will greatly benefit patients as well as reduce injury to staff.  Lifting patients is often the most challenging and dangerous job function for emergency medical providers. The Binder Lift changes this by attaching up to 32 handles to the patient’s torso so providers can effectively team lift, use better ergonomics, and avoid causing harm or discomfort to the patient. Jenn Chambers, Director of Emergency Services said, "I am thrilled to be able to purchase the Binder Lifts for our EMS Department. With the generous donations we received we were able to acquire lifts that will fit patients of all sizes. We are extremely appreciative of this opportunity." PEC is thankful for our generous donors. Without their help, our organization could not provide the quality of care we do.
