Community donations fund critical surgical equipment
The Battlefords Union Hospital has new, updated critical surgical tools in place that will help patients in the area receive the best care close to home.
The new laparoscopic towers, which can be seen in this video, are thanks to the generosity of the community through funds raised by the Battlefords Healthcare Foundation.
The towers contain equipment needed for laparoscopic procedures, including video display, camera and light source. Ensuring patients have access to this minimally invasive procedure allows for reduced pain, a shorter recovery time, less scarring, and brings to life the SHA’s CARES values of Compassion and Safety.
Lynette Tatton and Dr. Melissa McGee say it is wonderful being part of a team that is providing the best patient care through updated surgical technology.
