Modernization of equipment:
Purchase of a Mini C-Arm (fluoroscopy)
- Used for hands, wrists, ankles and collarbones surgeries.
- With this purchase, more than 400 to 600 surgeries are done each year at our Hospital.
- Additional pieces of equipment were also added to the Mini C-Arm in order to enhance its performance.
We have until March 2024 to fund the entire device ($292 000).
Purchase of a colonoscope
- Allows for better screening and therefore reducing the risk of colon cancer
- Helps reduce the wear of the other colonoscopy instruments.
- Purchase possible thanks to the Auxiliary volunteers’ donation.
Purchase of a pediatric colonoscope
- Allows more precise endoscopic exams, as much on children as on adults.
- It prevents the population from having to travel elsewhere for this kind of exam.
Purchase of 2-position support
- Provides more precise positioning of the upper limbs during surgery.
- Post-surgery recovery is less painful for the patient.
- Precision of the intervention allows it to be performed quicker.
- Promotes better access to the surgical tray, which increases the number of surgeries.
Purchase of a Sentinel Lymph Node Device
- Has made breast surgery available at the hospital since July 2018.
- Allows the population better access to care in close proximity to their residence.
