Having problems with message search?
Hi Kate:
Voila! And thanks for posting this.
Turns out I myself mentioned this to some other people in health areas on the telephone just today, and "guess what": in just about the same words you just used, and I actually said that I thought you would post this!
And it is a fact. But for your post today I would have referred to your materials on the list tonight or soon.
I think it would be great if you would tell us more now at your convenience ... and isn't it nice that the request that the injured and ill be considered in these discussions of the Disabilityh Convention are reaching fruition!
Very best wishes, :) LDMF.

> This month, we announce the introduction of the Welner Legacy Table, a

>
> The Welner Legacy Table is a power examination and procedure table that
> adapts the healthcare setting to the mobility and positioning
> limitations of patients -- as well as to the comfort of caregivers who
> administer treatment. Extra-wide at 32", the Welner Legacy is built to
> raise patients of up to 650 pounds from an easily accessible low height
> of 18" to a caregiver-friendly 39" high.
>
> The Welner Legacy table thus also advances access to care for the obese,
> truly accommodating the full range of patients with special needs. The
> integral features of the original Welner Table remain, with a
> next-generation touch: side rails for patient safety and positioning, a
> boot system with full foot, calf and lateral support, a
> radio-translucent cassette option for x-ray ease, and fully powered back
> and pelvic tilt. I
>
> 'm excited to have you check out the table at www.welnerenabled.com.
>
> As we move forward, I would like to personally contact you to see how we
> might get the word out about the Welner Legacy table to others like you
> who are interested in the treatment of disabled, bariatric, and
> geriatric patients.
>
> We'd also very much welcome your input on how hospitals, clinics, and
> doctor's offices need to adapt diagnostic and examination equipment to
> provide optimal examination and treatment to all patients.
>
> Welner Enabled, Inc. will continue to design and build products to meet
> the needs of people with disabilities and other special needs, using
> technology to enable health care access to all.
>
> I want my entire staff to work with the community of the concerned,
> including yourself, to fulfill Sandy's extraordinary commitment and
> devotion to patients, and to medicine.

> In the meantime, I welcome your input and feedback. Please feel free to
