Thank you to the Gilbert Plains Community Fund for their donation of $2500 to purchase Cryogun Equipment. The cryogun equipment allows providers at Gilbert Plains Clinic to use cryotherapy – a precise, controlled spray of liquid nitrogen – to remove benign skin lesions like warts and skin tags right in the Clinic.

For nearly 120 years, the Virden and District Health Auxiliary’s mission has been to enrich the comfort of those in care at the Virden Health Centre,  Sherwood Home and West-Man Personal Care Home. With overwhelming support of service groups and the people of Virden and surrounding areas, the  Health Auxiliary was proudly able to raise, in record time, funds needed to purchase an ultrasound machine for the hospital.  The Health Auxiliary also acknowledged that the long-awaited LUCAS chest compression system is also now in use at the hospital. These two pieces of equipment further enhance the care provided at the Virden Health Centre.
