Pharmasave Radiothon for Healthcare 2019
The Pharmasave Radiothon for Healthcare was once again a well supported and successful event for the Doctor Noble Irwin Foundation. As the largest fundraiser of the year for the Foundation, it has been a huge boost to our Close to the Heart Digital Mammography campaign. In total Radiothon raised $155,832.00 to put towards mammography, which brings our total for Close to the Heart to $215,000.00, or about 2/3 of the total cost of the new digital mammogram machine at $350,000.00. To all those who donated during Radiothon, thank you! To anyone who has not yet, we need your help! Please donate generously by clicking the Donate tab on this page, or call or stop by the Foundation office. 306-778-3314.
Close to the Heart Campaign Kickoff Breakfast
Nearly 200 people, most of them women, were in attendance to hear the message and stories from breast cancer survivors at this morning’s Close to the Heart Digital Mammography Campaign kickoff breakfast. The breakfast was put on by the Foundation as a way to introduce our new campaign and raise funds and awareness to help purchase a new digital mammography unit. The current digital mammography unit at Cypress Regional Hospital is still functioning well and doing its job, but the new unit has ten years of new technology advancements and improvements. (Think of how much your cell phone has improved in that time). The new machine will cost approximately $350,000.00 which will be the focus of many of our events and activities in 2019, culminating with the Pharmasave Radiothon for Healthcare. Please support one of these fun events or simply make a donation. We need your help to save lives. To donate, click on the donate button at the bottom of this page, or call 306-778-3314.
Portable Digital X-ray Arrives!
The latest addition to the Diagnostic Imaging department at Cypress Regional Hospital has arrived! Last years fund-raising goal for the Pharmasave Radiothon for Healthcare was a Portable Digital X-ray machine, and it is here and in use at CRH. The unit itself is quite remarkable, allowing healthcare providers to take and see x-rays at bedside for patients who are critical or not easily moved, plus it uses less radiation than the old machine and takes clearer pictures. One staff member commented that it is even better than they were hoping for. Thank you for your donation to this cause. Without your support this purchase would not have been possible. Your donated dollars are hard at work at the Cypress Regional Hospital, Keeping Local Healthcare Strong.
