Baragar, the administration understands the mats might be an impor-
tant comfort measure and is strongly considering adding them in the
future.
The surgical tables are bariatric grade and easy for staff to manipu-
late, the stretchers are easy to maneuver when pushing patients
around the surgical department, and each room is outfitted with table
attachments and slider boards to ease the strain of transferring
