1. A patient support apparatus comprising a controller,a user interface,a single air supply,a first flow path pneumatically connecting the single air supply to the first patient support zone,a diverter valve positioned in the first flow path,a second flow path pneumatically connecting the diverter valve and a second patient support zone,the first patient support zone comprising an air fluidization therapy bed including a fluidization space and a fluidizable medium positioned in the fluidization space, the air fluidization therapy bed receiving the a flow of pressurized air from the air supply, the flow of pressurized air operable to fluidize the fluidizable medium, andthe second patient support zone comprising a micro-climate assembly,wherein the controller is operable, based on inputs to the user interface, to control the diverter valve to selectively divert a portion of the flow from the first flow path to the second patient support zone such that, when the diverter valve is engaged to divert a portion of fluid flow from the first flow path to the second patient support zone, the single air supply continuously supplies both the air fluidization therapy bed and the micro-climate assembly. 2. The patient support apparatus of claim 1, wherein the micro-climate assembly comprises an upper layer of vapor permeable material, a lower layer coupled to the upper layer to define a chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the chamber having an interior space, a three dimensional material positioned in the interior space, the second flow of air entering the chamber through the inlet and exiting the chamber through the outlet. 3. The patient support apparatus of claim 2, wherein patient support apparatus includes a first conduit from the air supply to the air fluidization therapy bed. 4. The patient support apparatus of claim 2, wherein the second flow is conditioned. 5. The patient support apparatus of claim 4, wherein the single air supply comprises a variable speed blower. 6. The patient support apparatus of claim 5, wherein the micro-climate assembly includes an outlet and the second flow is continuously exhausted through the outlet. 7. The patient support apparatus of claim 6, wherein air fluidized therapy bed includes a filter sheet and the first flow is continuously exhausted through the filter sheet. 8. The patient support apparatus of claim 1, wherein the single air supply comprises a variable speed blower. 9. The patient support apparatus of claim 8, wherein the micro-climate assembly includes an outlet and the second flow is continuously exhausted through the outlet. 10. The patient support apparatus of claim 9, wherein air fluidized therapy bed includes a filter sheet and the first flow is continuously exhausted through the filter sheet. 11. A patient support apparatus comprising a controller,a user interface,a single air supply configured to continuously and simultaneously supply a first flow of air to a first patient support zone and a second flow of air to a second patient support zone,a diverter valve coupled to the single air supply, the diverter valve being under control of the controller and the controller being responsive to user inputs at the user interface to operate the diverter valve,wherein the first patient support zone comprises an air fluidization therapy bed including a fluidization space and a fluidizable medium positioned in the fluidization space, the air fluidization therapy bed receiving a first flow of pressurized air from the air supply through the diverter valve, the first flow of pressurized air operable to fluidize the fluidizable medium, andwherein the second patient support zone comprises (i) a plurality of inflatable support bladders, and (ii) a micro-climate assembly supported on the support bladders, the micro-climate assembly including an upper layer of vapor permeable material, a lower layer coupled to the upper layer to define a chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the chamber having an interior space, a three dimensional material positioned in the interior space, the micro-climate assembly coupled to the diverter valve to selectively receive the second flow of air therefrom, the second flow of air entering the chamber through the inlet and exiting the chamber through the outlet, wherein the continuous and simultaneous first flow and second flow are at different rates and wherein the diverter valve is selectively engageable control the flow to the micro-climate assembly. 12. The patient support apparatus of claim 11, wherein the patient support apparatus further comprises a first conduit coupled to the diverter valve and a second conduit coupled to the diverter valve, the second conduit coupled to the micro-climate assembly. 13. The patient support apparatus of claim 12, wherein the second flow is conditioned. 14. The patient support apparatus of claim 13, wherein the single air supply comprises a variable speed blower. 15. The patient support apparatus of claim 14, wherein the second flow is continuously exhausted through the outlet of the micro-climate assembly. 16. The patient support apparatus of claim 15, wherein air fluidized therapy bed includes a filter sheet and the first flow is continuously exhausted through the filter sheet. 17. The patient support apparatus of claim 11, wherein the single air supply comprises a variable speed blower. 18. The patient support apparatus of claim 17, wherein the second flow is continuously exhausted through the outlet of the micro-climate assembly. 19. The patient support apparatus of claim 18, wherein air fluidized therapy bed includes a filter sheet and the first flow is continuously exhausted through the filter sheet. 20. The patient support apparatus of claim 19, wherein the second flow is conditioned.
