2024 was another successful year for the Dauphin Hospital Foundation.
Thanks to contributions and donations, the DHF was able to provide several new pieces of equipment to the Dauphin Regional Health Centre, including two heated recliners for the renovated cancer care unit, an Emergency Room neo-puff machine, two blood pressure machines, two geriatric chairs, an Operating Room lift.
The Foundation was also able to provide close to $17,000 in staff support through the Delha Cort Education Fund, giving nurses and maternity staff the opportunity to upgrade their skills.
Other highlights included their participation in the official opening of the Smile Zones, along with contributing $2,500 to student scholarships at the DRCSS, and a gift basket to the hospital's New Year's Baby.
Looking ahead to this year, Board Chair Greg Thompson said they are committed to funding equipment purchases to assist maternity and obstetrics, the cancer care unit and surgery.
He adds they also plan to work with the Dauphin Medical Group on the construction of a secured bike compound for hospital staff.
