Queens General Hospital Auxiliary is pleased to announce the arrival of the new Bariatric/Cuddle Bed for QGH.

The bed is shown below with the handmade quilt donated by The South Shore Bariatric Palliative Care Society and representatives of each groupl
This is a bed that can comfortably accommodate both larger patients, and palliative patients with a loved one. Often when a patient is very ill, the closeness of a loved one can be an enormous comfort—hence the term “cuddle bed”!
The mattress on this very special bed is designed to keep patients comfortable, and the bed includes a “trapeze” so that patients can lift themselves. It also features electrical outlets for charging devices etc. and comes with a battery backup. The super-wide mattress comes with two bolsters that can be removed, converting the bed to a normal size. The manufacturer is Umano Medical, a Canadian company.
