In December of the past year, time seemed to fly as Ben and the dedicated team at Deutscher Healthcare undertook a significant project at the Hazeldean Transitional Care Facility in Williamstown. The installation involved a range of innovative solutions, including Walmsley Hi-Low beds and Hybrid Bariatric "BT" floor level beds, affectionately known as "Big Ted Beds." This initiative marked a noteworthy step in advancing healthcare facilities for the benefit of the community.
