New ER ventilator
2025
All the doctors working in the Crowsnest Pass Hospital expressed gratitude to the Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation for our fundraising efforts to purchase lifesaving equipment like this ventilator for our hospital.
Dr. Shahrabadi said “this equipment will save lives”. Dr. Penner went on to say, “it will save admissions to ICU as well”.
All the doctors and the respiratory therapist have been trained on the use of the ventilator that will be housed in the Emergency Room at the hospital.
Two Arjo bath tubs
2021
The response of our local citizens and corporate donors to our Health Foundation Christmas Campaign was truly amazing. Through our Newsletter mailer, individual donors contributed a record $7469. In lieu of a Christmas Party, Teck Resources gave a generous donation of $61 625 to our local hospital. The funds were used to purchase two specialized bath tubs, one for Continuing Care residents and one for Acute Care patients. The Arjo tubs are compatible with height-adjustable bath lifter chairs and are complete with a patient lift. This enables caregivers to transfer a patient or resident directly from the beside or wheelchair into the bath more safely.
Broda patient wheelchairs
2021
Also, with these donations, the Foundation was able to purchase 3 Broda Patient wheelchairs, two for Continuing Care and one for Acute Care. Broda’s wheelchairs provide safe, comfortable, long-term seating that maintains mobility while dramatically reducing the number of falls, pressure injuries and unsafe vehicle patient transport.
