55.07.LHoyer Lift
Joerns Healthcare
“The hydraulic sling that kept caregivers' backs and clients' dignity intact.”
Lift without lifting.
Ted Hoyer's own polio led to a portable hydraulic lift still named after him. Every later ceiling track and sit-to-stand is a descendant.
Opened safe transfer as equipment, not heroics.
