When it comes to choosing a hospital bed that’s reliable, functional, and clinically advanced, Span America, a subsidiary of Savaria, consistently stands out. At MedEquip Health, this brand remains one of our most recommended — and for good reason.
Our founder spent nearly a decade working directly with Span America, so we know their product line inside and out. Their beds may not come with luxury finishes or upholstered headboards — but what they do offer is rock-solid performance, safety, and adaptability for home healthcare needs.
