SYRACUSE — St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center has received a grant that will help it buy equipment for a “fast track” area in its emergency department.
The grant, for $10,100, comes from the health insurer Fidelis Care New York. St. Joseph’s plans to use it to purchase a stretcher chair for examining patients with eye and nasal complaints, two examination tables, reusable blood-pressure cuffs, and three handheld oximeters, which are used for measuring oxygen saturation levels and pulse rates.
The equipment is bound for the hospital’s 12-bed emergency department fast track unit. That unit operates similarly to an urgent-care center, serving patients with an array of less-serious conditions.
