American Mortuary Coolers & Equipment Helps Cook County Medical Examiner Equip for COVID-19 Surge
Fall Branch, TN: American Mortuary Coolers and Equipment has completed, in record time, the manufacture and installation of custom racking and lift systems and bodyboards at the Cook County Medical Examiner’s COVID-19 Surge Warehouse. The facility, located in an undisclosed location, can accommodate up to 2,000 deceased individuals.
“When one of the largest medical examiner’s offices in the country calls needing help, you listen,” says TR Ward, President, and Owner at American Mortuary Coolers and Equipment.
“We were able to complete everything in only 15 days. It was a true honor to be able to contribute and make a direct difference during this tragic time.”
The Cook County Medical Examiners, who normally handle over 5,000 bodies per year, is handling the current situation well but are preparing for the eventuality of the predicted surges to come in the not so far out future. Some experts expect these waves to come for quite a long time.
