Winthrop display two of the six new STAXI Medical Wheelchairs purchased by the Auxiliary and donated to TBH. The $10,000 investment was made possible with funds generated in TBH’s Gift Shop. The donation allowed for the purchase of four regular-size wheelchairs (left) and two bariatric chairs (right), which can accommodate patients up to 1,000 pounds. The new chairs will be used for patient transport by TBH Volunteers and staff members.
