Current Goal - $350,000 Cardiac Monitoring System
Our hospital needs your support to complete this important goal!
Our goal is to replace the cardiac monitoring system currently in use with the Philips Intellivue MX800.
The problem that we are facing is that due to its age, the current cardiac monitoring system no longer supports new software updates needed to remain an effective tool for our staff. Replacement parts are increasingly scarce as they are no longer in production. Should any parts of the system break down, it would result in costly repairs that would need to be conducted on a case by case basis, delaying the ability of hospital staff to diagnose and treat patients. Replacing the entire cardiac monitoring system within the hospital is a cost effective campaign. It carries significant benefit for patient care by allowing for more rapid and accurate analyses of patient conditions in every area of the hospital to be readily available to all nursing staff.
The Philips IntelliVue MX800 is wireless, and has the unique advanced CareEvent Management feature. This feature is capable of sending a visual display of a patient’s cardiac status, blood pressure, respiration, and oxygen levels to the mobile phone or tablet of the nursing staff. This creates an easy and effective way to send cardiac traces to cardiology specialists for review. As a rural hospital, this availability is especially important, as we do not have a cardiac specialist on site and must send patient information to St. Mary’s Hospital in Guelph, ON. For us, this feature drastically increases the speed in which hospital staff can diagnose and treat patients.

Our $250,000 Ultrasound Campaign has been completed with your support!
Although the ultrasound machine is often thought of as an integral part of the Obstetrics department, its uses have a wide range. From monitoring serious trauma cases in the emergency department, or monitoring and treating patients with cardiac events such as a stroke, to screening patients before and during breast biopsies, the Ultrasound Machine is an important part to any hospital.
An ultrasound machine allows for rapid, non-invasive, and cost-effective bedside evaluations that can offer immediate diagnosis without any exposure to radiation. In addition to fetal imaging, the ultrasound is capable of detecting prostate cancer, gallbladder disease, kidney stones, and can even assess glands and muscles in the body.
An ultrasound machine can assist in preventative measures for patients in cardiovascular cases, providing strategies to predict and prevent future cardiovascular events through clearer imaging of plaque buildup in arteries and blood flow through the heart.

Another main function of the ultrasound machine at our hospital is to help guide physicians while performing breast biopsies. Breast cancer has the highest incidence rate of all cancers among females in our community, Grey-Bruce County, accounting for 25.6% of new diagnoses.
With over 110 new cases of breast cancer in our community each year, the ability of our hospital to be able to diagnose and treat these patients as early and efficiently as possible is essential. An updated ultrasound machine plays a vital role in these surgical procedures.
