MANITOUWADGE, ON – February 14th, Manitouwadge General Hospital Ladies Auxiliary President Linda Killingbeck presented hospital CEO Mr. Jocelyn Bourgoin with a final check in the amount of $3,750.00 towards the purchase of a Stratus CS Stat Fluometric Chemistry Analyzer used to perform tests on blood samples. In 2011, the Auxiliary donated $6,750.00 to the Hospital. Mr. Bourgoin thanked the volunteers for their dedicated work. Their efforts are a key component in ensuring the Hospital has state of the art equipment for staff and patients.
Mr. Bourgoin commented that the Ladies Auxiliary often toils in the shadows and is not always recognized for their ongoing efforts. Their Christmas Tea Bazaar, Valentine Day Chocolate sale and Kozy Korner Gift Shop are their main sources of revenue. The next fundraising project will focus on a Pain Medication Infusion Pump. These pumps are designed to be used by the patient for ongoing pain control through a controlled yet continuous infusion of medication and can be of great benefit for palliative care and other serious conditions. Recent donations have been received for such a pump but more is needed. The Ladies Auxiliary has committed to raise the rest of the funds for the pump.
