🎸 Say No to Heavy Metal — in the OR, not just your playlist.

Traditional metal rollboards? They’re heavy, bulky, and fatiguing.
⚠️ Hard on staff.
⚠️ Hard to store.
⚠️ Not built for speed.

Meet the Gold Rollboard:
• 75% lighter than metal alternatives
• Compact, easy to store
• Designed for safe, smooth lateral transfers in tight spaces like ORs and EDs
• Non-powered, antimicrobial, and ready when you are

👉 Ditch the heavy metal. Choose Gold.

Honoring Our Veterans: Service, Strength, and Safety

On this Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country with dedication and sacrifice.

At EZ Way, we’re reminded that many of our veterans continue to serve, not just in uniform, but in hospitals, long-term care communities, and therapy settings across the country. Whether as caregivers, patients, or healthcare professionals, their strength and resilience inspire us every day.

In safe patient handling, our mission is to protect both those receiving care and those providing it. We are proud to support facilities, especially those serving veterans, that prioritize dignity, safety, and mobility.

Let today be a reminder that honoring veterans means more than words. It means making every lift, every transfer, and every recovery safer and more dignified, for them and for all.

Thank you, veterans.

Celebrating Nurse Practitioner Week 🩺

We proudly celebrate Nurse Practitioner Week, a time to recognize the critical role NPs play in our healthcare system.

Nurse Practitioners are often on the front lines of care, providing comfort, expertise, and advocacy for patients in hospitals, rehab centers, long-term care communities, and beyond. They don’t just treat illness, they promote dignity, mobility, and independence.

At EZ Way, we’re honored to support the work of Nurse Practitioners by equipping facilities with safe patient handling equipment that reduces injury risk, improves outcomes, and supports early mobility, a key goal for many NP-led care plans.

To every NP driving better care through compassion, expertise, and leadership: thank you. Your dedication moves patients, and our industry, forward.
