Medical Chairs For Transplant Unit At John Hunter Hospital

Written By Cristy Houghton

The Lions Club of Toronto, when one of their members received a transplant, identified the need for special Medical Lift Chairs in the Transplant Unit at John Hunter Hospital.  With the old chairs there was a high risk catching the catheter as the patient attempted to move.  Transplant patients are encouraged to get out of bed as soon as possible after the operation.

 With the help of the Foundations the club purchased four Harbourtown Lift Chairs.  These new chairs, presented to the hospital on 13th February, feature powered  adjustment up, down and back with no risk to patient or any attached medical equipment.  The chairs have a slow powered action and a removable back.
