Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation has received a $10,000 donation from North Battleford Lions Club in support of the We Don’t Want to Miss a Beat capital campaign to purchase new heart monitoring equipment at BUH.
According to the foundation, the new equipment will assist those who may present with chest pain, unexplained fainting episodes or dizzy periods, shortness of breath,or issues with their heart or blood pressure medications, among other conditions. Proper monitoring of these concerns can help to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment for patients.
One of the major fundraisers the NB Lions Club holds is the annual guns and collectables show in September every year. This allows them to support various organizations within their community.
The donation from NB Lions Club helped BUH Foundation to reach the $216,000 goal that was set for the We Don’t Want to Miss a Beat campaign.
