Growing CareGrowing Care Campaign
The Cumberland Health Care Foundation's new initiative is to update the health centre's diagnostic imaging equipment and complete a third operating room.

“It’s all about the patients you can help”, states the Foundation’s Managing Director, Joe Gauthier.  “The updated digital imaging equipment will benefit many different types of patients - for instance the Echo Ultrasound machine is used to investigate heart conditions such as a faulty valve in the patient’s heart”.  Gauthier went on to explain that the Routine Ultrasound machine will benefit patients undergoing investigation for abdominal and breast cancer, examinations of extremities for blood clots, thyroid conditions, and of course, pregnancy.   Upgrading of the digital imaging equipment will also help to improve the patient experience as patients are able to have the processes done quicker, helping to potentially reduce wait times.  With improved technology another benefit will be the ability to spot bowel and stomach cancer earlier.

Donations to the “Growing Care” campaign can be made at the Cumberland Health Care Foundation office located at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, by calling 902 667-5400 ext. 6210 or by visiting www.chcfoundation.com/growing
