This just got a little cuter (with a message, of course).

One of the problems with manual boosting is that uneven pulling or even that fatigued, end-of-shift jerking between two people is a recipe for skin shearing or tearing, not to mention it is uncomfortable and often painful for the patient. So we know Hercules is strong, but is it also gentle for the delicate skin we often see in hospitals?

We'll let Nash show you just how gentle the strength of Hercules really is. (And yes! Mom was boosting and Dad was just out of frame, so all "just in case" safety measures were in place.)

Bonus: more frequent, one person, automatic "micro boosts" ensures every patient experiences the full therapeutic benefit of your existing mattress and bed. That makes us truly happy, not HAPI.

It's time for our first ever installment of "Is Hercules Strong Enough??", the game show where we see if Hercules is indeed strong enough for nearly any size patient. Our first contestant is former NFL defensive tackle, Doug Worthington, who also happened to be helping us with a little project this past weekend (don't be fooled by the costume, Doug is perfectly healthy).

So watch the video and play along with us, and stay tuned for tomorrow for a message from Doug. (If you want to learn more about Doug, his career, and how he's inspiring his community, check out his website below!)

Part Deux! What an incredible couple of days with an amazing group of nurse leaders at our November Regional Collaborative!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and brought so much energy, honesty and heart to the discussions. This is a special event with a special group of people who care deeply about solving real challenges in nursing. You can feel the collaboration and engagement in every session.

We dug into the real stuff this week:

💪How to eliminate the “stupid stuff” that gets in the way of great care
💪How leaders are engaging and inspiring teams across generations
💪What it takes to build healthier work environments
💪How peer conversations spark new ideas and fresh approaches

Most of all, we saw what happens when come together with curiosity and a willingness to help one another. That spirit is what makes this collaborative stand out.

Thank you again for the laughter, the stories, the shared wins and the problem solving. Safe travels home today and wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving ahead!

It's World Quality Week and we loved hearing from our Quality Team and Leadership in preparation for this week.

They told us: "Excellent quality management always asks three questions...

💪 How good is it?
💪 Is it good enough?
💪 How can we make it better?"

We see our team asking these questions as a part of their daily work flow, and it's reflected both in how we assemble our product, right here in the good old USA.

Check out the second installment in our Boosting Quality in Healthcare series, which follows three team members from our factory. Each member has a unique skill, background and story for why they have a drive to make Hercules the absolute best it can be.

In this second installment of our Boosting Quality in Healthcare Series, we hear more from three of our team members in our factory. Each one brings a talent...

Truly, there is nothing more horrifying to us than knowing so many nurses and bedside caregivers are boooosting without Hercules this Halloween. And rightly so! Nurses are 7x more likely to be injured on the job than ANY OTHER PROFESSION (terrifying) and injuries from manual boosting are the NUMBER ONE WORKER'S COMP CLAIM (*screaming into the void*).

But what's scary today doesn't have to be scary tomorrow. Hercules can help. Happy Halloween!

What does quality look like up close?

It's not just about the final product. It's about the focus, the care, and the pride in every single component. We believe the path to 100% elimination of boosting injuries begins right here, in the hands of our dedicated factory team in Batesville, IN.

This is the foundation of how we're Boosting Quality in Healthcare. More to come soon!

SAVE THE DATE! We'll be at Magnet & Pathway Conference 2025, in beautiful Atlanta, GA, October 8-10. Come see us at Booth 1943. If you have Hercules, we want to hear about how you're loving it at your facility. If you DON'T have Hercules, we want to show you what automated boosting can do for you, your staff and your patients, and show you how you can get it. See you soon!

Nurses are 7x more likely to be injured physically on the job than any other profession. But what about moral and emotional injury? Studies on these topics are in their infancy but early estimates put injury rates at 40%. In this video, our own clinical marketing strategist, Sarah Storer, talks about one of her memories around boosting and the "weight of what if" she feels from the experience. She also talks about why working for Hercules is so important to her and how her personal mission is that "not one more nurse" experiences the feeling of helplessness she did with her young patient.

Our mission is simple: not one more nurse or bedside caregiver should be injured in any way from boosting. No patient should ever be uncomfortable, especially in their final moments. Hercules for every bed, every hospital, every nurse, every patient.
