2023 news

The Spring 2023 update of the Donor Wall in the hospital lobby saw the names of Don Villani and Petros Kamiliris entered at the "over $20,000" level in recognition of their generous donations to the Hospital Foundation.  We were also the recipient of a bequest of $270,000 from a friend of the Foundation.
 
Recent equipment purchases approved in June 23 were

• a fetal monitor telemetry transducer and module that will be used to transmit baby's vital signs from a Mom in the maternity ward to the nurse's station.
• a Hamilton T1 ventilator for the ICU. This unit can also be used during patient transport.
• a Siterite PoC ultrasound which helps nurses in locating the needle when performing an IV.

The new lighting in both operating rooms has been successfully installed.  Significant scheduling effort was required from project staff to coordinate availability of the electrical contractor with downtime in the operating rooms. Pictured is general surgeon Dr. Pawel Makarewicz and OR nurse Cindy Pankiw with the new lights in May 2023.
