ECUADOR.
Deployment of MED-1 Mobile Hospital in Ecuador - South America, designed and built by MED-1 Partners and Golden Gait Trailers, located in Concord NC. Ecuador purchased and deployed 2 of the state-of-the-art mobile hospital systems. These units are capable of caring for over 200 patients each, including 2 operating rooms, 4 ICU beds, 7 step down beds and 1 ENT chair.
Within days of the commissioning of the two MED-1 mobile hospitals, more than 1,000 patients per day were routinely seen.
-
Open 12 hours a day
-
A maximum of 1,800 patients per day
-
An average of 15 to 25 surgeries per day per hospital
MED-1 was responsible for training medical and support staff, setting up the units, as well as training and support for maintenance and service. The work was a resounding success; the local teams were able to run the hospital independently in less than a month.
HURRICANE KATRINA.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Gulf Coast of the United States. In the wake of unprecedented devastation, Carolina's MED-1, the world's first complete and fully mobile medical care facility, was deployed to the front lines of the disaster: Waveland and Bay St. Louis - Mississippi,
where Katrina's eye passed directly through.
Ninety percent of the residential and commercial structures were leveled, including the 102-bed Hancock Medical Center, which had six inches of mud in the second floor operating room.
-
Duration: 7 weeks
-
Total patients: 7400
-
50-350 per day
MED-1 took up residence in a Kmart parking lot in Waveland for a seven-week commitment as the central medical facility for three Mississippi counties.
After forty-nine days, MED-1 had cared for more than 7,500 patients and saved many lives in the epicenter of Katrina.
INDIANA FLOODS.
As a direct result of the flooding in Indiana due to heavy rains, the Carolina MED-1 was deployed to Columbus, Indiana, to replace the Emergency Department at Columbus Regional Hospital.
During the six-week period, more than 2500 patients were treated. The Carolina MED-1 was authorized in the State of Indiana as an Emergency Department, allowing Columbus to properly care for patients.
ROCK TOWNSHIP FIREFIGHTERS.
The Rock Township Fire Department fights a fire in rural Noble County - Oklahoma. About 60 times a year, members of the department are called out to fight weed and grass fires. They often find themselves driving over uneven terrain obscured by smoking.
Using HyperSight, the vehicle-mounted TIC, Rock Township firefighters can quickly access the fire line, fight fires that were previously masked by smoke, and safely navigate smoke-obscured environments.
