HEROCarts Has Donated Hundreds Of Disposable Bedside Carts to Nurses and Patients

September 29, 2020 by David Coakley

Like most Veteran business owners, Taggart Neal never planned for a global pandemic. But when the coronavirus hit the U.S. earlier this year, the owner of TAGCarts™ pivoted to serve their healthcare clientele on the front-lines and in need.

“A good plan with the right team today is better than a perfect plan next week, “ Neal says, referring to one of his mantras since his days of service in the U.S. Navy.

Neal responded to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s call for healthcare companies to innovate in the face of COVID-19.  Following his service to our country as a Navy Machinist’s Mate, Neal entered the medical industry. In his more than18 years of experience, he has served nurses and the greater healthcare community through medical cart and workstation sales and service. Most recently, he designed the first ever single patient use product family of medical carts. The Sacramento based HEROCarts™ project started in April and hundreds of disposable bedside carts have already been donated to nurses and patients who need them most.

HEROCarts™ are named after real HEROES – the nurses on the frontlines. These lightweight, durable multi-drawer carts on wheels are made out of recyclable paperboard and protect against cross-contamination while providing improved nurse workflow at the point of care. They’re also filled with personal protective equipment.

Neal’s start-up company, TAGCarts™ typically designs and manufacturers medical carts and workstations for hospitals. As the number of coronavirus cases skyrocketed, he immediately identified the void of medical carts and workstations in temporary pop up field hospitals and validated the nurses need for something less permanent to address the environment of care nurses now found themselves in.

The carts are assembled by U.S. Veterans and Americans with disabilities at PRIDE Industries in California. HEROCarts™ have been shipped out to hospitals in California and Arizona and they’re already making a difference. With partnerships ranging from state health departments to PRIDE Industries, HEROCart’s and their kitted PPE are now serving “Alternate Care Sites” and hospitals serving COVID-19 patients.

“I’ve dedicated my career to serving nurses medical carts and workstations that make their heroic jobs easier. Teaming up with U.S. Veterans and Americans with disabilities gives them dignity and honor building TAGCarts which serve to heal Americans in hospitals across the country… it’s a dream come true,” Neal says.

A Veteran owned company in Sacramento, California designing hospital carts halts development to create “Pop-Up” single-use medical carts to help keep nurses safe by reducing cross contamination in COVID-19 environments of care.

American Healthcare Heroes are placing themselves in constant risk for exposure to COVID-19. TAGCarts halted design and development of top-quality, best in class heatlhcare medical carts, workstation carts, and smart rail systems to address the safety, and efficacy of healthcare professionals in a temporary and semi-permanent environment of care. They did so by designing a single-patient use, “Pop-up”, biodegradable medical cart family, the HEROCart.

HEROCarts patent-pending features, advantages, and benefits set it apart as the first and only medical cart designed for pop-up heatlhcare, rapid deployment, and emergency field hospitals like the ones being developed to serve COVID-19 victims in California, across the USA and around the globe. It further addresses long-term storage needs for hospital patient surge capacity requirements and emergency / disaster preparedness / response centers around the globe by shipping and storing flat-packed until they are needed by nurses and their patients.
