The Princeton General Hospital Auxiliary are very happy to announce that two Alternating Airflow mattresses have finally arrived at the hospital. The Auxiliary have bought one mattress for the hospice/palliative care patients in the hospital and another for Ridgewood Lodge. These mattresses, which cost about $5,300.00 each, provide comfort and prevent bed sores and were described as amazing by someone who experienced one. The mattress for the hospital replaces one bought by the auxiliary seven years ago which was held together with duct tape after many years of use. A big thank you to all who support the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop activities.
