2025 Annual Appeal Campaign – Hercules Patient Boosting System
The Hercules Patient Boosting System is a innovative technology that allows nurses and care teams to safely reposition patients at the touch of a button. This system reduces strain, prevent injuries, and improves comfort for both patients and caregivers.
Why This Matters • Healthcare workers face some of the highest rates of work-related injuries in the nation, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). • Over 45% of these injuries are caused by overexertion or bodily reaction (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023). • The CDC reports that more than half of all nurses experience back injuries during their careers, often from manual patient handling.
By implementing the Hercules system, ERMC can help reduce these risks, keep our staff healthy, and create a safer environment for everyone in our care. How It Helps Our Team Beyond safety, this investment strengthens ERMC’s ability to recruit and retain top nursing talent. Today’s caregivers seek hospitals that value their well-being and invest in tools that make their work safer and more sustainable.
