In September 2024 Rotary in Harpenden supplied the town’s Community First Responders (CFRs) with a much-needed emergency lifting chair. The CFRs’ role is to provide crucial emergency medical assistance before the arrival of an ambulance.
‘The Raizer lifting chair, which can be easily assembled by a single CFR, has been used many times with great success to help non-injured patients get off the floor safely and comfortably,’ said Vivienne Ford, team leader of the Harpenden CFR team. ‘It has made a real difference in ensuring a quick and dignified lift for those who need it.’
