Patients probably don’t think much about the stretchers and wheelchairs that help get them from one place to another. But new equipment at Yale New Haven Health includes advanced features to enhance patient comfort and reduce physical strain for hospital staff.

The Saint Raphael Campus also received 49 new stretchers as part of a multi-year initiative to replace this equipment at all Yale New Haven Health delivery networks.
