A patient support apparatus (10) includes a frame (12) movable to a plurality of vertical positions, a first deck section (40) pivotable relative to the frame (12) and a second deck section (42) pivotably relative to the first deck section (40). The second deck section (42) includes a base (44), a coupler (66,68) movable relative to the base (44), and an extender (48) movable relative to the coupler (66,68) and the base (44). The base (44) and extender (48) cooperate to define a support surface when the second deck section (42) is in a generally horizontal position. The extender (48) is positionable to provide egress handles when the second deck section (42) is in the generally vertical position.
