Of the $787 billion stimulus dollars, $59 billion is allocated for healthcare. Most of the healthcare funds will be allocated to:

• Provide healthcare for the unemployed and poor
• Enhance prevention, wellness and vaccination programs
• Invest in information technology to encourage electronic health information exchange
• Expand community clinics and access to healthcare

As states and municipalities expand and improve medical facilities to enhance access and the use of information technology, Hubbell Wiring Systems will be there – just as we always have been. Hubbell conceptualized the “Hospital Grade” standard back in 1973 to ensure performance and safety in healthcare environments.

These products are available for commercial, industrial and residential applications and meet the latest codes and standards for energy efficiency, many of which will be mandated in stimulus building projects and upgrades across the country.

Our Hospital Grade products include Insulgrip® and Valise® plugs that prevent strain while ensuring a superior electrical connection, GFCIs, surge receptacles and strips for maximum safety, and tamper resistant and isolated ground receptacles. We also offer a full range of stainless steel wallplates, metal raceway, and datacommunications connections for harsh environments.
