Council Approves Stryker ProCare Contract Renewal and New Ventilator Purchase

In the heart of Boyle County, the Fiscal Court convened on July 22, 2025, to address several key issues impacting local services and healthcare. The meeting, marked by a collaborative spirit, showcased the court's commitment to maintaining essential services for the community.

One of the highlights was the approval of a contract renewal with Stryker for preventative maintenance, which ensures that critical medical equipment remains operational. The contract, valued at $19,480.80, includes annual maintenance and emergency repairs without additional charges for parts or labor. This partnership, established over several years, reflects the court's dedication to reliable healthcare support.

Additionally, the court discussed the purchase of a Hamilton Medical ventilator, priced at $16,500. This acquisition is part of a strategic plan to gradually enhance the county's medical equipment inventory, with a goal of acquiring four ventilators over the next few years. The decision to purchase one ventilator this year aligns with budgetary provisions and aims to bolster emergency response capabilities.

The meeting also addressed the renewal of Antebi pediatric medication software, a vital tool for ensuring accurate medication dosages in high-pressure situations. This renewal, costing $2,467.50, is crucial for both pediatric and adult care, allowing medical personnel to focus on patient care without the added stress of manual calculations.

As the meeting concluded, the court's decisions underscored a proactive approach to healthcare and community service, ensuring that Boyle County remains equipped to meet the needs of its residents. With these approvals, the county is poised to enhance its medical readiness and support for local healthcare providers.
