$9,000 approved for pediatric crash carts

These carts allow for consistency of readily identifiable supplies in critical areas of the hospital for patients ages 0 to 10 years old so that personnel can respond to emergency needs.

"The pediatric crash carts will help provide a standardized and consistent approach to pediatric emergent situations within West Park Hospital. The color coded-drawers on the carts are specific to categories of patients based on how much the patient weighs. Each drawer contains supplies necessary for care of pediatric patients during emergent situations where time and supplies are of the essence. We appreciate the gift from the foundation and would like you to know that the carts provided are improving our ability to be prepared for the care of pediatric patients." - Keith Ungrund, Director of Acute Care and Critical Care.
