Hi-Way 9 Express Ltd. presented a $6,000 cheque to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation (DAHF) to complete the “final mile” funding for the Laparoscopic Surgical Tower purchase for the Drumheller Health Centre. The Laparoscopic Surgical Tower is required to conduct laparoscopic surgeries, such as appendix, gall bladder, and gynecological. It will provide the best technology available today, so the surgeon has a high-definition camera and a large monitor to ensure a high visual field during surgery. More surgeries are conducted laparoscopically to provide quicker recoveries and less complications for patients due to smaller incisions. With this donation from Hi-Way 9 Express Ltd., the DAHF has reached its $160,000 fundraising goal for the Laparoscopic Surgical Tower and is able to purchase this critical piece of equipment for the Operating Room. At the presentation are (l-r) Maria Bergos, Rural Acute Care Manager, Drumheller Health Centre, Tom Zariski, Director, DAHF ,Virginia Rathgeber, Director of Administration & HR, Hi-Way 9 Express, Crystal Hall, Office Manager, Hi-Way 9 Express, and Jackie Watts, Secretary, DAHF.
