Installed May 2025. Sponsored by donor, Mr. Jim Thomson!
THANK YOU!
Wall mounted patient lift with transfer rail system installed at Olds Hospital and Care Centre. Today (May 21, 2025)
we are proud to announce another great purchase / installation funded by one of our generous donors- Jim Thomson!
...
On a hospital tour at the Long Term Care Unit, we were able to see first hand the behind-the-scenes of the mechanics of an overhead bed lift. It sounds pretty simple in theory, but in practice- medical staff can use the lift with persons weighing up to 600lbs.
...
They provide a safe way to move people with limited mobility without putting strain on caregivers or risking injury.
We could not have done this without donation dollars!
THANK YOU!
