The women of the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Auxiliary have done it again.
Thanks to them the CT scan upgrade for Shuswap Lake General Hospital has now reached its goal.
The new technology provides a significant enhancement to patient care at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, says Fiona Harris, the foundation’s director of development.
The Shuswap Hospital Foundation board of directors made a commitment to raise the $205,000 needed to purchase the upgrade in October 2013 and fundraising began immediately. The community responded with generosity and the CT scan upgrade was ordered and installed in July 2014.
A total of $17,785 was still needed to complete the goal and the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Auxiliary stepped up.
“I would like to take this opportunity to applaud the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Hospital Auxiliary for their contribution to health care in our community,” says foundation board president Doug Murray. “We are so appreciative of their efforts and the volunteer work that they do within Shuswap Lake General Hospital.”
