Generous gift

A new emergency ambulance is serving Dunedin residents thanks to the generosity of the Cleveland Charitable Foundation, which gave the vehicle to Hato Hone St John in memory of its co-founder, Les Cleveland, who died in 2013. The Generation 4 ambulance is the latest model in Hato Hone St John’s fleet of emergency ambulances. They are fitted with modern equipment such as a power-load electric stretcher and stair carry chair, which are designed to make it easier and safer to move patients in and out of the vehicle. The types of incidents the ambulance has attended include falls, motor vehicle crashes and heart problems.
