Festival of Trees
Equipment Purchases
|
2011 - 2012 Your support of the 2011 Festival of Trees will benefit Ambulatory Care & ER, Chemotherapy, Obstetrics, and Surgery, as new IV Pumps and Vital Signs Monitors are purchased to enrich patient care. IV Pumps administer the necessary medications or nutrients into a patient's system and can be set for as little and as often as required. Vital Signs Monitors provide accurate blood pressure, temperature, oxygen, and pulse rate. Both are essential pieces of equipment for patient care.
2010 - 2011 Proceeds from the 2010 Festival of Trees have been allocated to purchase a Fetal Monitor & Doppler for the Women's Health & Birthing Centre. With over 500 babies born in the past year at BUH this equipment is gratefully appreciated, as it is used to monitor and assess the fetus' heart rate and mother's contractions during the birthing process. 2009 - 2010 Proceeds from the 2009 Festival of Trees have been allocated towards the purchase of an Innovative Operating Room (OR) Suite. This suite is designed to augment the complex equipment used in the OR. It creates an organized, effective, and safe operating room allowing the Surgical Team ease of movement and complete focus on patient care during complicated surgical procedures. We all benefit from quality healthcare and to family and friends this means modern, efficient treatment close to home. 2008 - 2009 Proceeds from the 2008 Festival of Trees will be used to purchase medical equipment for the Labat BUH. Some of the items support the operation of the Cobas 6000 blood analyzer purchased in 2007 and all ensure that the Lab at BUH is equipped with modern, technologically advanced equipment to provide exceptional diagnosis and treatment our families expect. Specific items purchased include a Thermo Centrifuge, Plasma Thawer, Platelet Incubator, Mobile Instrument Table, Temperature Surveillance Panel, Blood Bank Fridge, and Fetal Fibronectin System. "The new equipment purchases have been greatly appreciated by the staff, as they have allowed us to maintain optimal testing conditions and allow us to be even more efficient, which in turn provides better patient care to the people of our community. Thank you for your contributions." ~ Pamela Nyholt, Laboratory Supervisor
2007 - 2008 Proceeds from the 2007 Festival of Trees will be used to purchase medical equipment for 3rd North at BUH. Items include a compact suction unit, low air loss mattress system, a wound vacuum system and a vital signs monitor with stand. 2006 - 2007 Proceeds from this year's Festival of Trees will be allocated to the Breast Health Fund which will assist in purchasing new mammography equipment for BUH.
