ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- Pediatric Nurse Angie Potter of Saint Louis, Mo., has made multi-tasking for parents and nurses a thing of the past, at least when it comes to wagons and IV poles. Potter, founder and president of Medwagon Inc., has invented a wagon that incorporates an integrated IV pole and has already begun to change the lives of children at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.
On Monday morning, August 6, 2001, 20 of the 35 Medwagons ordered by Cardinal Glennon made their national debut with full fanfare. Medwagon made headline news on all four local channels in the Show Me State and the hospital is said to be still buzzing with excitement over this new mode of transportation for sick children.
The company's logo is "Mobility Makes A Difference" and for Potter it is all about making a difference in the lives of small children and their parents: "I kept asking myself," said Potter, "'How do you make a child feel mobile when they are not?'"
The Medwagon allows children who require IV or nutritional support to achieve a new sense of freedom. In the past, parents dealt with simultaneously pulling a wagon and an IV pole. This difficult and potentially dangerous task has now been eliminated with the Medwagon.
