1) Patient-Lift Device [by SLibich, RDH on February 7, 2007]
I support this legislation to aid in the care of patients in various healthcare facilities. With an increasing number of the public being over weight, this device would aid the caregivers in these facilities. This device provides more patient care in a timely manner and prevent employee injury when trying to move a heavy patient. Having one device on wheels would allow the facility to move it easily around to service their patients in their care.
