St. Clair Hospital's Donated Beds To Serve Patients A World Away

By replacing 31 traditional hospital beds, St. Clair Hospital expects to improve stays for its own patients and for others in developing countries.

Patients treated at the hospital in Mt. Lebanon will benefit from new "low beds," which can lowered to a height of eight inches off the floor to help prevent fall-related injuries.

Those beds replace 31 Hill-Rom Advance 2000 electric beds donated by the hospital to Global Links, a nonprofit organization that helps underfunded hospitals obtain medical furnishings, supplies, and equipment.
