P io n e e r M em o rial Hospital currently keeps similar, though larger, mats on two of the gurneys in the ER for intra-hospital transfers. Funds from the rem em brance w alk/run would allow the hospital to have a smaller HoverMatt in each H eppner-based ambulance. M iller said sim ilar mats are used in many area am bulan ces, inclu d in g Hermiston. In fact, she said EMT trainee Tina Davidson first brought the idea to her attention after seeing them in action on other ambulances she has ridden along on in her training. As for why the hospital chose the HoverMatt out of all possible needs. Miller said price, as well as need, was a factor. “We have to give them (Friends Helping Friends) an obtainable goal. The HoverMatt is $4,000 for a couple of them. There are other things we can use, but they’re tens of thousands of dollars,” she said.
