The Drumheller Area Health Foundation (DAHF) met its goal to purchase a new portable ultrasound machine, thanks to a generous donation from Torxen Oil and Gas.
On Friday, March 12, Grant Bergos, production superintendent from Torxen Oil and Gas presented a cheque for $6,000 to the DAHF.
“This generous donation will bring the foundation to its final goal of raising $66,700 for the cost of the portable ultrasound. Various donor organizations and individuals have contributed funds toward the cost of the portable ultrasound over the last six months, which has helped the Foundation meet its fundraising goal,” said Trisha Sewell, executive director of the DAHF, in an email.
The cost of the portable ultrasound is $66,700, and now the foundation can complete the purchase, thanks to all its generous donors.
Now fundraising for the portable ultrasound is complete, the Drumheller Area Health Foundation will be focusing on its next fundraising goal, which is to purchase a new laparoscopic tower for the Operating Room, as the current tower needs replacement. “The laparoscopic tower is utilized by the operating physician to provide a clear vision of the surgical site during laparoscopic surgeries,” states Sewell.
