Abstract: A combination lift mechanism and wheelchair which is used to lift a user confined to a wheelchair above the seat of the wheelchair for providing relief and healing from bedsores on the user's lower back and buttocks. A vest is mounted on first and second arm portions of the wheelchair as pivotal first and second assemblies. The user is secured to the vest having hinges and buckle fasteners disposed on the front and back of the lifting vest. Fluid conduits are also disposed within the vest for regulating peripheral body temperature of the user. An actuating mechanism is mounted within first and second support assemblies for selectively lifting or lowering a user a predetermined height for providing circulation, relief and healing from bedsores.
