What is claimed is: 1. A bed for supporting a patient, the bed comprising: a base, a frame; head and foot supports coupled to the frame; and a deck coupled to the frame and disposed thereabove, the deck being longitudinally movable from a first position to a second position toward the foot of the bed, the deck including a lowerable foot deck section initially disposed substantially above and between the head and foot supports when the deck is in the first position and substantially outside the head and foot supports when the deck is in the second position, the head support having a first end coupled to a first portion of the frame and a second end coupled to a first portion of the base, and the foot support having a first end coupled to a second portion of the frame and a second end coupled to a second portion of the base. 2. The bed of claim 1, wherein the deck also includes an elevatable back deck section having a lower back section and a head support section pivotably coupled thereto. 3. The bed of claim 1, wherein the elevatable back section is connected to a back deck section arcuate cam for raising and lowering the elevatable back section. 4. The bed of claim 1, wherein the deck includes an articulated thigh deck section which is elevatable. 5. The bed of claim 4, wherein the articulated thigh deck section is connected to a thigh deck section arcuate cam for raising and lowering the thigh deck section. 6. The bed of claim 1, wherein the foot section is disposed substantially adjacent the foot support when in the second position. 7. The bed of claim 1, wherein the foot section is hingedly connected to a thigh deck section. 8. The bed of claim 1, wherein the foot section is lowerable by gravity as the deck moves from the first position to the second position. 9. The bed of claim 1, wherein the foot section has an extendable and retractable length. 10. The bed of claim 1, wherein the foot section includes a telescoping track for shortening the length of the foot section. 11. The bed of claim 1, wherein the head and foot supports include a hi/lo mechanism to raise and lower the bed frame. 12. The bed of claim 1, further comprising an actuator attached to the deck for longitudinally moving the deck relative to the frame. 13. The bed of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second ends of the head support is positioned toward a head end of the bed, and at least one of the first and second ends of the foot support is positioned toward a foot end of the bed. 14. A bed for supporting a patient, the bed comprising: a base; a frame; head and foot supports each having a first end coupled to the base and a second end coupled to the frame; a deck coupled to the frame and disposed thereabove, the deck including a lowerable foot deck section; and means for longitudinally moving the deck relative to the frame from a first position substantially above and between the head and foot supports to a second position substantially outside the head and foot supports and towards the foot of the bed so that the lowerable foot deck section moves from a first generally horizontal position to a second generally vertical position, the means for moving including means for supporting a bariatric patient during movement of the deck. 15. The bed of claim 14, wherein the foot section is moved from the first position to the second position due to gravity. 16. The bed of claim 14, wherein the bed further comprises means for elevating and lowering a back deck section. 17. The bed of claim 14, wherein the bed further comprises means for elevating and lowering a thigh deck section. 18. The bed of claim 14, means for extending and retracting a length of the foot deck section. 19. The bed of claim 14, wherein the frame includes at least one longitudinal member, the longitudinal member has first and second laterally spaced sides, and the means for moving includes at least one cam guide assembly having a first portion of the cam guide assembly coupled to the first side of the longitudinal member and a second portion of the cam guide assembly coupled to the second side of the longitudinal member. 20. The bed of claim 14, wherein the means for supporting a bariatric patient includes a lateral stabilizer. 21. A method of elevating a patient supported by a bed deck having back deck and foot deck portions from a horizontal position to a chair position, the method comprising: moving the bed deck longitudinally from a position disposed substantially between spaced-apart, height-adjustable head and foot supports each having a first end coupled to a frame of the bed and a second end coupled to a base of the bed, wherein the frame supports the deck and is supported by the base, toward a foot portion of the bed until the patient's legs are disposed distally of the foot support of the bed; raising the back deck portion of the bed deck from a substantially horizontal position to an elevated position; and lowering the foot portion of the deck from a position substantially above and between the head and foot supports to a substantially vertical position outside the head and foot supports of the bed. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the steps of moving the deck and raising the back deck portion are simultaneously carried out. 23. The method of claim 21, wherein the foot portion of the deck is lowered automatically due to gravity as the bed deck is moved toward the foot end of the bed. 24. The method of claim 21, wherein the head and foot supports are telescopable to adjust the height of the frame. 25. A method of moving a foot support section of a deck of a hospital bed from a generally horizontal position substantially above and between head and foot supports each having a first end coupled to a frame of the bed and a second end coupled to a base of the bed to a generally vertical position substantially outside the head and foot supports, wherein the frame supports the deck and is supported by the base, the method comprising: using a control device to actuate moving the deck relative to the frame of the bed toward a foot end of the bed; and permitting the foot deck section to move due to gravity from the generally horizontal position to the generally vertical position as the foot deck section moves past a foot end of a frame. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the control device includes an icon indicative of the longitudinal deck movement function.
