Ambu-Star’s Bariatric Units

The field of medicine concerned with the study of obesity, its causes, prevention and treatment is known as Bariatrics. As medical interventions become more readily available to obese clients in our service are, Ambu-Star Ambulance service has committed itself to developing a transportation system that is safe and reliable, while maintaining and respecting a client’s dignity with the Upstate’s first Bariatric unit.

This unit decreases the risk of back injuries to employees, thanks to a 1600 pound capacity bariatric stretcher – which is wider for patient comfort – and a set of ramps and an electric wench. Crew members no longer have to lift the patient loading or unloading.

Home for the Holidays

This program is very dear to the company and deserves to be in a class by itself.  During
Thanksgiving and Christmas, Ambu-Star provided transport of patients from nursing homes to a residence to spend that special occasion with families and loved-ones.  The company offers this service at no cost to the patient, family, organization, or insurance.  

As part of the “Home for the Holidays” program, Ambu-Star also transports wheelchair patients of nursing homes to Christmas Parades.  This is a special time for many of the residents. It brightens the spirits of the patients during the holiday season.
