Prince County Hospital workers given free lift during storm

Business lends helping hand

SUMMERSIDE Employees at Prince County Hospital had home to work transportation provided during Tuesdays snowstorm, courtesy of a local businessman.

Nathan Kember, of Paul Davis Systems Restoration Specialists, used his 4x4 to shuttle hospital staff during the overnight storm that keep most people at home.

I have a friend thats a nurse and she needed a drive to the hospital, Kember said. I was over to her house last night and she wanted a drive to work this morning. So, I called her up this morning and she said sure. I thought it was a good idea to keep doing it.

Kember posted a picture of his truck on Facebook offering free rides to hospital employees and the response was over - whelming.

It s something you can do in a small community and it s the least we could do, he said. Weve got about a dozen or so calls and weve got some more lined up.

Kember said he started shuttling people around 10 a. m.

The back streets were al l pretty well not plowed, he said. Our truck can go through quite a bit of snow so I m glad we had t hat i n our vehicl e f l eet.

Kember has a Ford F- 150 with 38- inch tires and a lift kit that made it ideal for the wintery conditions

It was pretty bad all the way around. Central Street was plowed by 11 a.m. A lot of streets weren't open, he said. Greenwood Drive and Pope Road were pretty bad.
