During the Grundy County Community Foundation Awards Ceremony earlier this month, the Grundy Center Ambulance Dept. was awarded $10,000, which will be used to help purchase a power load system for the department’s second ambulance.
 
The new power load system uses a hydraulic lift to lift patients into the ambulance, and has been shown to reduce back injuries by 80 percent.
 
GC Ambulance Chief Dwight Gliem says with calls continuing to rise, the new power load system will be a huge help to the department.
