Toughbooks and hydraulic lift gurneys – the face of emergency care has changed – but thanks to donations, Escalon Community Ambulance is changing along with it. A previous donation from the Escalon Lions Club of $15,800 for a hydraulic lift gurney finished out the fleet, said Chief Mike Pitassi, with all ambulances now outfitted with the state-of-the-art hydraulic gurneys. “This is the newest one, but that rounded out our ALS (Advanced Life Support) fleet with all power gurneys,” Pitassi said.
