Mardi Ratzlaff of Humboldt County Memorial Hospital says that ever year the events proceeds go to the hospitals biggest needs. This year the proceeds will go towards the hospitals new ambulance.
Ratzlaff says the new ambulance has a truck chasse (as opposed to a van chase) and is much larger than the others in use by the hospital. The ambulance is also four wheel drive, making it easier to drive in winter weather conditions. “The striker bed that is on the back of it is also battery operated so the actual EMT or your medical personnel don’t have to lift the patient into the back of the ambulance” she says. This helps staff avoid injury while on the job.
Ratzlaff says the ambulance is already on sight and helping save lives in Humboldt County today.
