Transport Team gets new wheels

Thanks to the Children's Hospital League and the Center for the Critically Ill Child, Children’s patients in need of transport will ride in the hospital’s new, state-of-the-art ambulance. The truck provides a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment for neonatal and pediatric patients, and is big enough to fit two patients along with two parents or guardians. The vehicle’s unique features include an x-ray view box, an IV fluid warmer and a DVD player for children who are awake during transport.
