East Kootenay Foundation for Health recently accepted a donation of a bariatric wheelchair from the Knights of Columbus #8631 (Cranbrook).

The bariatric chair offers extra wide seating and weight bearing of up to 500 pounds. The newly welcomed chair will be put to use throughout the East Kootenay Regional Hospital for patients needing some extra comfort.
