Brandon Regional Health Centre Auxiliary contributes over last year
The Brandon Regional Health Centre (BRHC) Auxiliary capped the last year by generously contributing to new equipment purchases for the Brandon Regional Health Centre and Western Manitoba Cancer Centre (WMCC). The contributions for 30 capital equipment pieces totaled close to $304 thousand. Equipment purchases included:
- Two Bladder Scanners totaling just over $34,000.
These are portable ultrasound devices used to quickly and non-invasively measure urine volume in the bladder, helping assess for urinary retention or incomplete emptying. These units help to prevent unnecessary catheterizations. One unit was purchased for BRHC and one for WMCC.
- Ultrasound for PICC placement – for Outpatient Care Unit totaling just over $35,000.
An ultrasound used to place a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), which helps to avoid repeated needle sticks for treatments lasting weeks or months.
- Eight Maternity Unit Beds totaling $69,588.
Replacing current beds which are end of life.
- Nineteen new Beds for the A3 Unit at a cost of $165,272.
Replacing current beds which are end of life.
Prairie Mountain Health and Brandon Regional Health Centre sincerely thank the BRHC Auxiliary for their continued support to the benefit of patients across Western Manitoba.
