Dunkirk, Maryland-based is manufacturing portable medical stations that could relieve hospital overcrowding during the coronavirus pandemic.
They’ve delivered the first six of them to United Medical Center, in Southeast D.C., under a contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The company is converting PODS庐 storage containers into miniature hospital rooms, mobile testing stations and quarantine shelters.
They cost between $18,000 and $33,000, depending on how they are are outfitted, or they can be leased.
The PODS containers are 8 by 16 feet, and are built with steel frames and fiberglass panels.
Options include negative air pressure controls, self-contained air conditioning, medical-grade electrical service and lighting, a nurse鈥檚 call button and easily sanitized finishes, according to Patriot Spaces.
The mini-medical rooms can be manufactured in days and delivered nationwide, Patriot said.
