Healthcare Facilities
If you work in any type of healthcare setting, you know how fast-paced things can be – which is why having reliable, high-performing ice machines onsite is critical. Considered a medical necessity in many cases, ice in hospitals is often used for ice chips for patients coming out of surgery or as an anti-inflammatory agent for swelling caused by diseases, infections and broken bones. Ice machines are also needed for hospital cafeterias, including food safety and preparation. You may be surprised to learn there are many types of ice for residential care facilities, hospitals and doctors’ offices. Depending on your facility’s medical specialties, there are machines specifically for emergency rooms and laboratories, as well as physical therapy and sports medicine.
