If you’re in the market for a hospital bed for yourself or a loved one, you might be experiencing sticker shock.  The beds can cost an arm and a leg if you’re not careful.  And what do you do if you’re on a tight budget?  A brand new bed can eat up your money in no time.

But don’t despair.  You can get that bed you want…and need.  The easy solution is buying a used hospital bed.  Now don’t automatically say no to the idea.  Used hospital beds are not the same as used regular beds.  Basically, you would be buying the mechanism of the bed…the shell, if you will. Just add a brand new mattress and you’re good to go!

And if you’re thinking that you may not get the exact bed you want…that you’ll have more choices if you buy new, think again.  Once you start shopping for your used or refurbished hospital bed, you’ll soon discover you can find almost any brand and model you want.

Buying used versus new can easily save you tens of thousands of dollars.  Now keep in mind, this is for hospital beds…the type of beds that are actually used in health care facilities.  A home care bed will cost you a lot less but if you need all the features a full-fledged hospital bed has then looking at refurbished models is a must.

In fact, you may be able to afford a bed with more features if you buy a refurbished one.  Maybe you can upgrade from a manual bed to an electric one.  This is really crucial if you don’t have a caregiver or if the caregiver isn’t up to the task of operating a manual hospital bed.

So before you make up your mind, why not take some time to look at all of your options?  Because if you decide on buying a used hospital bed as opposed to a new one, you’ll save a lot of money and you might be able to get a better bed.

If you have questions about buying a used hospital bed, please call us at 800-330-3591.  Our product consultants can answer your questions and get you the exact bed you want at a price you can afford!

Country Faces Challenges in Hospital Care, Vaccinations, Antivirals, and At-Risk Community Preparedness

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) released a new report today that finds 15 states could run out of available hospital beds during the peak of the outbreak, if 35 percent of Americans were to get sick from the H1N1 flu virus. Twelve additional states could reach or exceed 75 percent of their hospital bed capacity, based on estimates from the FluSurge model developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

According to the new report, H1N1 Challenges Ahead, the number of people hospitalized could range from a high of 168,025 in California to a low of 2,485 in Wyoming, and many states may face shortages of beds or may need to reduce the number of non-flu related discretionary hospitalizations due to limited hospital bed availability.

The numbers of people who get sick could range from a high of 12.9 million in California to a low of 186,434 in Wyoming, if 35 percent of Americans were to get H1N1.

“Health departments and communities around the country are racing against the clock as the pandemic unfolds,” said Jeff Levi, PhD, Executive Director of TFAH. “The country’s much more prepared than we were a few short years ago for a pandemic, but there are some long-term underlying problems which complicate response efforts, like surge capacity and the need to modernize core public health areas like communications and surveillance capabilities.”

The report examines other H1N1 outbreak concerns the country faces this fall related to vaccines, antiviral medication, health care, and special needs of at-risk communities. Additional key findings from the report include:

• Last year, only 36.1 percent of adults were Read the rest of this entry
