Dwernychuks donate $10,000 to Intensive Care Unit

Donation will be used to assist with purchase of new equipment
YORKTON - The Health Foundation received an extremely generous donation of $10,000 from Lorne and Charmaine Dwernychuk. The donation will be used to assist with 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 here,” said Lorne. Dwernychuk. “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 here.”

“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 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,” continued Fisher. “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.”
