LULING, TX - (January 8, 2010) - Seton Edgar B. Davis Hospital, a member of the Seton Family of Hospitals, is pleased to announce the purchase of a new power ambulance stretcher for use by Luling Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
"This new piece of equipment, with its increased stability, automatic lift and additional capacity, will immediately improve the safety and care of our patients as well as the safety of our EMS team members," said Glen Germer, Director of Emergency Medical Services at Luling.
