Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation ha congratulated David Dekker, North Battleford, on winning the $1,000 Previous Purchaser draw made Friday, Apr 17.
For the Previous Purchaser draw, purchasers must have purchased in one of the last three years to qualify. David and his wife Barb have done this, as well as have been supporting healthcare and BUH Foundation since the foundation began.
The supporters within the Battlefords and surrounding communities truly outdid themselves as they once again gave back for enriched healthcare. We recognize that our world has changed at the moment and we do not take for granted the continued support and commitment that has been made to enriched patient care. Thank you for making a difference for others when needed most.
Now that we are sold out, it's time to get down to business! The 13 draws every month for the next 12 months began on Friday, Apr 24.
Thank you for supporting your local hospital and enriching healthcare for your family and friends. Following is what you have helped to buy:
• A Patient Monitor for OR: Every year more than 3,500 surgeries are performed in the Operating Rooms at BUH. In order to maintain the patient’s health and well-being during their surgical procedures, the patient’s vital signs must be monitored continuously by the surgical team. The new monitor will have enhanced technology to keep patients safe and secure during these critical procedures. Total commitment from Monthly Lottery $36,363.00.
• A Bariatric Treatment Chair: Every year, Battlefords Region Home Care (BRHC) staff perform over 3,000 procedures in the Home Care treatment rooms at BUH and of these, 1,800 require the use of a treatment chair.
A new, electric bariatric treatment chair will meet the needs of Home Care clients by providing a larger, more specialized treatment chair and replace the current chair that is 10 years old. For both medical staff and clients, having access to equipment that readily adapts to their safety and needs is extremely important. As healthcare evolves, more and more people will receive their treatments through Home Care and with your help, we can provide enriched healthcare to our clients through supporting a priority such as this. Total commitment $5,549.
