Ambulance Director Jason Meador shared with the board back in November that batteries used in the ambulances had been recalled. After some extensive research, the hospital thought they were going to have to spend a lot of money replacing monitors in each of the vehicles. Meador informed members that the fix will be simple with a software update that will be completed next week.
Sumner adds that saves some stress on the hospital.
