Where Rest Becomes Recovery



Imagine a loved one in the hospital - unable to rest when they need it most. That's the reality too many patients face today. The current beds at Howard Young Medical Center (HYMC) are nearly 16 years old, and while they have served the hospital well, it's time for an upgrade. We invite you to join our Year-End Special Gift Initiative to fund: 

18 Stryker ProCuity beds 10 for ICU and 8 for Medical Surgical Unit. 


Comfort That Heals, Tech That Empowers 

Gel-Like Support for Real Rest: Advanced gel mattresses replace noisy air beds, cradling patients in cool, soothing support that promotes restorative sleep. 

Smart Features for Everyday Heroes: Electric brakes lock with a fingertip touch from the intuitive touchscreen or side rails. The Zoom Motorized Drive glides patients smoothly during transport. Plus, built-in USB ports let patients stay connected to family via phone. 

Safer Nights, Stronger Recoveries 

Fall Prevention That Saves Lives: Up to 85% of hospital falls happen right by the bed. The ProCuity bed sits at an ultra-low 11.5-inch height—the lowest in the industry— making it easier for patients to get in and out. 

Wireless Freedom for Peace of Mind: Smart Adaptive Bed Alarm adjusts automatically to a patient's weight and position, sending reliable, wireless alerts to nurses so help arrives fast—cutting fall risks by up to 50% and preventing injuries that extend hospital stays. 


Why Your Gift Matters

With every hospital dollar dedicated to lifesaving services, staffing our incredible teams, and keeping care available around the clock, innovations like the ProCuity beds simply aren’t possible within the operating budget alone. Your gift steps in where it’s needed most—bringing advanced technology that prevents falls, enhances recovery, and makes our hospital a true haven of healing.

This year-end, be the comfort our community deserves. Every dollar brings us closer to fall-free floors and fuller hearts. Join us—donate today and let's rest easier knowing we've made healing real. Your generosity isn't just funding beds; it's building hope, one safe night at a time.

Every gift will be matched by Aspirus, doubling the impact.
