Members of the Kamsack Hospital auxiliary recently made a 鈥済enerous donation鈥� to the Health Foundation of East Central Saskatchewan.
On March 4, in the boardroom of the Kamsack Hospital, Ross Fisher, executive director of the Health Foundation of East Central Saskatchewan, accepted a cheque in the amount of $5,000 from Diana Belovanoff, president of the Kamsack Hospital auxiliary.
The funds will be used by the Health Foundation for equipment purchases to enhance existing health services in the Yorkton region.
鈥淭hank you very much for all the good work that each and every one of you do through the auxiliary,鈥� Fisher said. 鈥淣ot only are you directly helping those in the hospital by the services and assistance you provide on a regular basis, but you are all a great example to others in your community.
鈥淪mall communities are aware of the vital contribution of volunteers which help to keep the community vibrant,鈥� he concluded.
The Kamsack Hospital auxiliary also made the following equipment purchases for the Hospital in 2019: an Elite Doppler, $1,300; Otoscope/Ophthalmoscope, $937; Vital Signs Monitor, $3,435, and two recliners for the doctor鈥檚 lounge, $2,540.
One other contribution fully-funded by the auxiliary has been the Family Room at the Hospital.
鈥淭his is a safe and secure area for consultation between medical staff and patients鈥� family, and also can be used for overflow family members from the Palliative Care Room,鈥� said Belovanoff. 鈥淚t鈥檚 for day use only, but it provides a private and confidential environment when it is really needed.鈥�
