A new donation to The Health Foundation will ensure critically ill patients receive more help.
Ian Slimmon, the manager of Grain Millers Canada operations in Yorkton, presented a cheque for $5,000 to Ross Fisher, the executive director of The Health Foundation, to help buy new monitoring equipment for the intensive care unit (ICU) at Yorkton Regional Hospital, according to a release from The Health Foundation.
“Grain Millers understands it is very important to have current equipment in the ICU. The ICU in the regional hospital cares for the most critically ill patients, who are often in life-threatening situations.
“Clearly it is important to have the best equipment available for those patients. We want to do our part to help make sure that equipment is in the hospital and ready to help those in need.” said Slimmon.
“This particular project The Health Foundation is raising funds for is very important, but generally we support the work of the foundation every year. The work of The Health Foundation improves our local health care, enhancing and expanding the services we can access locally; and that is important to Grain Millers. We are pleased to support and work with The Health Foundation and look forward to working with it in the future.”
“We are grateful for this donation and very pleased by the continued support Grain Millers provides our work. Without this kind of support much of the work we do would not be possible,” said Fisher.
