SVS Partners with
GE® Healthcare
| Specialty Vehicle Services, LLC. has
been named a "preferred mobile partner" by GE® Healthcare's Lunar
business unit. Under this long-term agreement, SVS will design
and manage the construction and delivery of mobile bone densitometry
(DXA) solutions for shared clients using the GE® Prodigy™ direct
digital densitometer.
In the United States, over 28 million people are
at high risk of developing osteoporosis. Up to 1.5 million
fractures a year are attributed to osteoporosis, with related health
care expenditures over $14 billion annually. Mobile DXA
solutions will greatly assist in early detection of this
silent, progressive disease by providing accessibility to as many
patients as possible.
As part of this important project, and in addition
to custom solutions, SVS has developed the "Mobile
Prodigy Aero", a rapid delivery standardized solution with
pre-configured option and graphics packages. The "Aero" is
efficient, reliable and easy to operate - ideal for high frequency
contracted services.

Our
Hurricane Relief Efforts
| After the devastation of
both Katrina and Rita, Specialty Vehicle Services, LLC (SVS) worked
closely with
The Mobile Health Clinics Network (MHCN) and affiliates to identify available mobile
health clinics nationwide that could be rapidly mobilized to assist
in hurricane stricken areas. In the days following the
disasters, many calls were received from local agencies and clinics
pleading for assistance. SVS and MHCN were able to match
identified units with agencies and clinics in need. |
| In just one example of the incredible
generosity encountered during this endeavor, a mobile "Breathmobile"
owned by
Mobile
C.A.R.E. Foundation of Chicago was loaned indefinitely to the
Louisiana Primary Care Association
(PCA) to serve displaced victims in New Orleans. As part
of the
Mobile Health Providers Coalition of Chicago (MHPC), Mobile
C.A.R.E. loaded the unit with well-needed medical supplies,
volunteered a driver to move the unit to Louisiana and even offered
to carry insurance on the unit until 7/06!
Our sincerest thanks are extended to all involved
in making a difference. Please feel free to learn more about
these wonderful organizations by following the hyperlinks to their
websites and getting involved. For additional success stories
