State of the art ambulances are arriving in Bartholomew County.
Columbus Regional Health has started a six-year transition process to replace conventional ambulances with four-wheel-drive diesel trucks that represent the latest in technology and innovation, CRH Ambulance Service Manager Adam Hoskins said.
Equipped with liquid hydraulic suspension, each truck comes with an on-board processor that automatically changes the spring stiffness and damping at each individual wheel in response to road and driving conditions.
For patients, that means a softer and smoother ride when the road or terrain is rough, as well as more stability when the ambulance makes sharp turns or emergency maneuvers, Hoskins said.
