The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has awarded Texas County Memorial Hospital in Houston a $100,000 grant for ambulance services.
The hospital will contribute a 10 percent match, bringing the total funding to $110,000, Ozark Radio News reports.
The grant will fund the purchase of six motorized stair chairs, six McGrath laryngoscopes, and an Airvo high-flow device for the hospital’s emergency medical services (EMS) department.
- The new motorized stair chairs, capable of supporting up to 500 pounds, will replace manual models and reduce the physical effort required to transport patients,
- The McGrath laryngoscopes, designed to assist in difficult airway management, will enhance EMS staff’s ability to prepare patients for intubation in critical situations.
- The Airvo high-flow device will offer tailored air and oxygen mixtures for respiratory support during transport, particularly benefiting pediatric patients, and ensuring accurate oxygen levels are maintained for optimal patient comfort and safety.
