McKenzie Health System is pleased to announce the arrival of a new Prime TC Patient Transport Chair by Stryker, generously donated by the McKenzie Auxiliary. This thoughtful gift will enhance both patient comfort and staff safety during patient transport within the hospital.
Designed with the unique needs of patients and healthcare teams in mind, the Prime TC chair features a comfortable, reclined seat angle and open sides for easy patient access. Its innovative design promotes safe and efficient transport, reducing physical strain for caregivers while prioritizing dignity and security for patients. Additional features include intuitive foot-operated central brakes, swing-away armrests, and a dual-position IV pole.
“We are incredibly grateful to the McKenzie Auxiliary for their continued commitment to supporting the needs of our patients and staff,” said Rebecca Stoliker, Director of Nursing Services at McKenzie Health System. “This chair is more than just equipment—it’s a symbol of the compassion and generosity that the Auxiliary brings to our organization every day.”
The Prime TC chair reflects McKenzie Health System’s ongoing dedication to providing safe, high-quality care close to home. By incorporating this advanced piece of equipment into daily operations, the hospital continues to improve the overall experience for patients and caregivers alike.
