Because of a generous gift from Craftsmen Industries, Inc., our three transport vehicles have a fresh, updated look showcasing our new vision and bold brand colors. “The new van needed graphics added to it, and we decided to update the other two vans at the same time to match,” says Cassie Baranovic, nurse manager who oversees our patient transport department. “We weren’t sure where to go, then our development team connected us to Craftsmen Industries.”
