AmeriCare Announces new Contract with Stryker:

September 2008

AmeriCare has just entered a contract to equip it’s entire fleet with POWER PRO gurneys by Stryker.  Once deployed these gurneys take much of the risk of injury to the patient and crew away, from being the most stable gurney out there to essentially eliminating the “lifting aspect” of the ambulance crew’s job.  The battery and motor do the heavy lifting for you.
