We held this Radiothon to highlight and explain what we were raising money for and how it will provide a benefit to our community. The Radiothon was held April 27 and 28, 2026. Our local radio station, 94.1 Cruz FM, covered all on air costs. That means 100% of donations can be used by The Health Foundation to purchase medical equipment!
During the Radiothon we interviewed doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff about the benefits of the new equipment we need in the hospital, as well as college and hospital staff regarding the need to expand training opportunities. Additionally, we checked in with staff about the equipment we raised funds for last year and how it has benefitted families. Finally, we let patients use their voice to speak about the value that local treatment has been providing them.
This year we sought to raisw funds along 4 tracks:
One of our primary goals this year is the renovation of the Endoscopy surgical suite. Endoscopy is a critical diagnostic and treatment tool. They allow
doctors to biopsy tissue, remove polyps, stop internal bleeding without major surgery, and treat other issues in the esophagus, stomach or colon. By renovating this suite, we will be able to perform 10 to 15 additional surgeries every single week. The Yorkton Regional Hospital performs approximately 2,500 of these procedures annually, that is the current capacity. This renovation will allow another 500 to 600 procedures to be done each year and meet patient demand.
The first class of students from our new Diagnostic Sonography course at Suncrest College are now ready to start their practicums, and three of those students will be completing their practicum right here in Yorkton. To make this program a success, we need to purchase another Ultrasound machine.
A Rapid Infusion System is a critical medical device, essential for emergencies such as massive trauma, surgery, or hemorrhage. It quickly delivers warmed blood and fluids to patients when every second counts.
New specialized equipment for the Intensive Care Unit, Laboratory, and Emergency Department ensures our local teams will have the quality and quantity of modern tools required to provide high-quality care without delay, in order to meet patient demand.
