Current Project: 260,000 Laparoscopic Tower
OUR GOAL: To purchase and install a brand new Stryker 1688 Laparoscopic Tower
The hospital requests your assistance in the completion of the 2022 grant campaign to purchase and install the Stryker 1688 laparoscopic tower. The existing laparoscopic tower at the HDH can no longer keep up with its demand. The aging laparoscopic tower regularly needs repairs, and this consistent disruption has effected the hospital's ability to efficiently provide care for our patients.
This new tower comes with many helpful features such as a camera with different functions that include fluorescence, and an overlay mode that allows for more precision to be used during various procedures. Not only does it have an impeccable camera, but the Stryker 1688 laparoscopic tower also has a safe guard that removes surgical smoke from the patient. Surgical smoke is caused during cauterization of the patient, and consistent exposure to this smoke can cause long term health problems for the OR staff. With this new laparoscopic tower, patients will be able to continue to receive the exceptional care that they deserve from the Hanover and District Hospital, through improved treatment and diagnoses that can be accomplished with this new tower.

Our $304,000 SMART IV Pumps Campaign has been completed with your support! The Hanover and District Hospital Foundation are proud to announce that our previous campaign to acquire and install 45 new SMART IV pumps was a success. The SMART IV pumps offer unique features that have the ability to improve the provision of care provided at HDH. The new pump technology uses an in-depth drug library which plays a role in the interception of medication errors. The Hanover and District Hospital will develop a customized library that includes dosing ranges and safety limits for various frequently used medications. When programmed, these libraries provide hospital personnel with the correct dose, flow and duration of fluids. The drug libraries then act as a safeguard for patients with the feature of a built-in alarm system that mitigates the risk of error in medication delivery. The success of this project will directly improve patient safety through the reduction of IV pump user error, the improved ability to make software and hardware repairs, and the use of a drug library which can increase the efficiency and speed of care provided here at HDH. Thank you to everyone who supported and helped us reach this goal. |
