Caregiver Support Series—Lifts and Transfers

The Eskaton website puts it best:  "Proper body mechanics are the key to safely lifting and transferring the person to whom you provide care. Del Browning and John Muggenberg, Occupational and Physical Therapists from Eskaton will demonstrate proper methods, and how to use lifting equipment such as transfer boards and mechanical lifts. Space limited. Reservations are required."
