A patient support apparatus (10) includes a mattress (14) having a head end (68). A frame (12) is configured to support the mattress (14). The frame (12) includes a head portion (16) that extends beyond the head end (68) of the mattress (14). The head portion (16) defines a recess (70). At least one handle assembly (20) is pivotally coupled to the head portion (16). The at least one handle assembly (20) includes an elongate member (22) coupled to the head portion (16) proximate the recess (70). The elongate member (22) is operable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The elongate member (22) is disposed over the head portion (16) when in the stowed position. A handle (24) extends from a distal end (26) of the elongate member (22). The handle (24) extends at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongate member (22).
