Help Us Save Lives: Support Emergency Crash Cart Upgrades Across Our Region
🏥 When Every Second Counts, Being Prepared Means Everything
At the James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre — and other healthcare facilities throughout our region — emergencies are part of everyday life. In critical moments, our healthcare teams rely on one essential tool: the crash cart.
These mobile units are packed with life-saving equipment and emergency medications used to respond to cardiac arrests, respiratory failure, and other urgent medical crises. But many of our carts are outdated, inconsistently organized, and no longer meet the needs of modern emergency care.
💡 Why This Matters
Outdated crash carts slow down emergency responses and increase risk. That’s why we’re launching an initiative to raise $100,000 to fund new, standardized adult and pediatric crash carts across our regional health system.
Your support will:
- ✅ Replace aging and inefficient crash carts
- ✅ Standardize equipment across all emergency departments
- ✅ Improve safety and response times for both staff and patients
- ✅ Ensure pediatric care areas have tools specifically suited to children
These upgrades will directly impact patient outcomes — ensuring that our teams have the right tools at the right time to save lives.
🎉 Looking Back: What We Achieved Together Last Year
Thanks to your incredible generosity during the 2024 Radiothon, we funded state-of-the-art Bedside Diagnostic Equipment for the Medical Unit at James Paton Memorial.
This included:
- 🩺 A Sonosite Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) machine
- 🔍 A VSCAN Air Portable Ultrasound for tighter spaces
- 💉 A vein finder
- 🚻 A bladder scanner
These tools have already elevated patient care with non-invasive, cost-effective diagnostic solutions — proving the impact of your donations.
