Thanks to the outstanding support shown during our Mother’s Day Radiothon last May 2023, and the very giving nature of our donors, we were able to purchase new 3D DynaCad Breast Imaging Software for the James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre in Gander.
This new Breast Imaging Software will allow radiologists to report on lesion location including distance from nipple, skin, chest wall and the lesion’s overall diameter. This is valuable information should surgery be required; the breast imaging software will enhance our current service and provide a path to MRI guided breast biopsy in our region instead of being sent to St John’s.
Our staff and volunteers had a wonderful day for our 31st annual Mother’s Day Radiothon which was broadcasted via 650 VOCM on Thursday, May 11th, 2023 in support of this vital piece of equipment, and thanks to another AMAZING show of support we saw another $45,000 come in for our Radiothon with a special thanks to the Gander Co-op 50/50 Committee, VOCM Cares, the Gander Shrine Club, the Gander Lions Club, Gander Women’s Institute, JPM Pharmacy, JPM Laboratory, JPM Medical Imaging and of course our corporate sponsors from Canadian Tire and Golden Scissors for stopping by to show your support. We also received an additional $60,000 Matching Grant thanks to John Haggie and the Department of Health and Community Services.
Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers is hard at work preparing for our upcoming 32nd Annual Mother’s Day Radiothon, scheduled for Thursday, May 9th, 2024. As always, this year’s event will be broadcasted live on 650 VOCM from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.
This year, the Central Northeast Health Foundation is proudly supporting the procurement of Bedside Diagnostic Equipment for the Medical Unit at James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre. With a set goal of $100,000, we are seeking your support to make this vision a reality. We firmly believe that these investments will yield enduring benefits for patients and their families, enriching lives for years to come.
The new Bedside Diagnostic Equipment will include a Sonosite point of care ultrasound (POCUS) machine for use on inpatient units, a VSCAN Air portable ultrasound for tighter spaces that the POCUS Sonosite cannot reach, a vein finder, and a bladder scanner. These pieces of equipment will not only elevate the standard of care patients receive, but also offer non-invasive and cost-effective diagnostic solutions.
We invite you to pledge your support by calling 256-5742 during the live broadcast on 650 VOCM on May 9th. Alternatively, you can make your donation securely and conveniently online through our website at www.cnehf.nl.ca. If you prefer traditional methods, feel free to mail your donation at your convenience. All donations will be acknowledged on air during the broadcast, unless specified otherwise.
Your support is invaluable, and every contribution, regardless of size, will have a meaningful impact.
