Funded Projects
Cardiac Equipment
The Foundation kicked off 2010 by raising funds to purchase new AEDs for the public areas of the hospital and defibrillators featuring state-of-the-art technology.
Surgical Warming Cabinets
In 2009, the Foundation raised the funds to replace two warming cabinets in the hospital's surgical services department. Warming cabinets are machines used to heat the irrigation and intravenous fluids that are administered to a patient in the operating room, and to heat blankets that keep the patient warm while waiting for and during surgery, and in the recovery room. This equipment plays a critical role in patient safety during and after surgery because it decreases the risk of post-operative infections and other complications.
Emergency Department Lobby Renovation
In 2009, the Foundation partnered with Mountain West Bank to renovate the Emergency Department waiting area. Through the bank's "donate a dollar" fundraising campaign, Mountain West raised the funds to replace the furniture and install a flat screen television in the waiting area. In addition, the bank's employees donated volunteer hours to repaint the waiting area and the exterior ambulance bay, as well as to freshen the landscaping around the entrance.
Portable Ultrasound Unit
In 2008, just six months after its inception, the Foundation successfully raised the money to purchase a portable ultrasound unit. This equipment, which facilitates the rapid diagnosis of a wide range of medical conditions, was made possible through the generous support of our community.
