What a great start to our fundraising for vital equipment needed in the Yorkton Regional Hospital. This year we are raising funds for a GeneXpert 16 for the lab, Pyxis medication dispensing systems for each ward, and heart monitors and ventilators for the ICU. Once purchased this new equipment will help provide new services and improve patient safety.
Our Airwaves for Health Radiothon emphasized what this new equipment will do and why it will be a benefit. We invited doctors, nurses and technicians to talk about the benefit to patients from the equipment purchased with the fundraising done last year.
It was wonderful to have the phones ring! Businesses, community groups and individuals called in donations. We know these are difficult times, so it is doubly amazing to see such strong support.
