Dwernychuks donate $10,000 to the Intensive Care Unit

---

The Health Foundation has received an extremely generous donation of $10,000 from Lorne and Charmaine Dwernychuk. The donation will be used to assist the purchase of new equipment needed in the ICU. 

"Both my mother and father spent time in the ICU in the Yorkton Hospital and they received excellent care while they were there," Mr. Dwernychuk said. "My father actually passed away while he was in the ICU. We are very grateful for the care they received, and after thinking about it we decided to make a donation. We hope it might help buy equipment the nurses need, and hopefully that helps other people who become patients there."

"This is a very thoughtful and generous donation that we are very grateful to receive," said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. "There are several pieces of equipment for which we are raising the funds to purchase for the ICU, and this donation will really help. ICU equipment is used every day by people that are critically ill who need intensive care. This donation will help many people."

"We are especially grateful when people step forward like this to recognize the outstanding work the nurses and staff do in the ICU," Mr. Fisher added. "Much of the equipment in the hospital is purchased by donations, and generous donations like this provide a great example to others. We are grateful for that."
