(KAIR)--Kansas hospitals are going to receive some much needed medical equipment during the COVID-19 emergency thanks to the Atchison Hospital and Clinics.
The Kansas Adjutant General's Office, in a news release, said the Kansas Division of Emergency Management has reached an agreement with the Atchison hospital for the temporary use of the equipment at no cost.
The equipment comes from the former Horton Community Hospital, which the Atchison Hospital recently purchased. It includes items like beds, IV pumps, and defibrillators, plus disposable supplies like gloves, tubing, and oxygen masks.
Angee Morgan, deputy director of KDEM, said "this is a wonderful demonstration of public spirit by the Atchison Hospital and the Horton community as they reach out to help other Kansas communities get through this emergency."
The resources will be distributed by KDEM on a greatest need basis.
The equipment will have to be returned to the Atchison Hospital within 45 days of the COVID-19 emergency being declared over, not to exceed January 15, 2021.
