Erlanger Children's Hospital Outpatient Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., has added two real trucks to an indoor play area, according to an article on the Modern Healthcare website.
A restored purple 1941 tow truck along with a modified engine cab from the Chattanooga Fire Department have new homes in the outpatient center.
Getting the trucks into a building under construction was no easy task, the article said. The vehicles were hoisted on a large platform by crane to upper floors.
Each floor of the hospital will be themed and include interactive discovery centers.
The official opening date is set for Dec. 17.
