Penn Care now Offers PODBOXES for Onsite Medical Services

Manufactured by industry leader, US POD BOX, Inc. this portable emergency medical station is the ideal “point of medical care” in disaster response situations.

During emergencies that lead to hospital surge or in case of mass casualty incidents where disaster response shelters are set up, it’s critical for EMS personnel to have medical supplies in one strategic command unit.

The PODBOX is the ideal portable emergency medical station for disaster response situations.

What’s also nice about working with US POD BOX is that we can design and build a custom PODBOX for clients that require unique features and functionality.”
