DEERFIELD, IL –Caterpillar Inc. today announced that the WestCare Foundation has chosen Cat® standby power solutions for three of its health and human services centers in the southeast U.S. 

WestCare’s facility management team selected Cat GC diesel generator sets for the Judi Patton Women and Children Center in Elkhorn City, Ky.; The Village South residential and outpatient treatment center in Pembroke Pines, Fla., and; the WestCare Florida Gulf Coast facility in St. Petersburg, Fla. Local Cat dealers in Kentucky and Florida will provide maintenance, repairs and fuel treatment for these locations under a Customer Value Agreement. 

Previously, WestCare selected Cat generator sets for the Hal Rogers Appalachian Recovery Center in Ashcamp, Ky., as well as the WestCare Nevada Harris Springs Ranch near Las Vegas.  

“As a nonprofit, we look for systems that are bulletproof and take care of themselves so we don’t have to worry about them,” said Jeramy Salyers, deputy administrator for FitzHouse Enterprises, the arm of WestCare that manages its facilities and vehicle fleets nationwide. 

“We chose to go with Cat generator sets because of their reputation for quality and dependability. They are the premier engines in the market, and longevity is important to us.”
