Elgin Ambulance would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Upper Mississippi Gaming Corporation for their generous grant, which enabled us to purchase a new Powercot. This vital equipment has significantly improved the safety and efficiency of our patient transports.

Before receiving the Powercot, our crew relied on a manual cot—placing considerable strain on their backs during lifts and transfers. Thanks to this upgrade, our team can now perform their duties with greater ease, and patients benefit from smoother, more secure transport experiences.

UMGC's support has made a meaningful difference in our daily operations and in the well-being of both our crew and the community we serve. Thank you!
