MooseFM Community Cares Radiothon
The MICs Group of Health Services is an organization who looks over the hospitals in Matheson, Iroqouis Falls and Cochrane. And this year, you can help them improve the quality of care they can provide.
In order to keep up and remain state of the art, MICs Group of Health Services and their hospitals need help. The Moose Community Cares Radiothon is dedicated to doing just that.
This year, each hospital is looking for a unique item:
Bingham Memorial is looking to bring in Two IsoTour Premium Mattresses and pumps. These will enhance care by providing better pressure redistribution to prevent and manage pressure injuries.
Anson General needs a Stryker Prime Big Wheel Connect stretcher for the E.R. It comes with a built in bed alarm and scale to help weigh patients who can’t get out of bed.
Lady Minto is looking for a treatment chair for the emergency department for infusion patients that will improve comfort and help deliver better quality of care
On Friday, December 4th from 6am to 6pm YOU can make a difference with the Moose FM Community Cares Radiothon by call 705-272-7200 ext 1154 to make a donation with every dollar raised going towards these items.
MICs Hospital Backgrounds:
Matheson:
Originally established in 1919, the name of the hospital was the “Rosedale War Memorial Hospital” in honour of the men of the church who died in WWI. The hospital housed patients as early as April 1922, but did not formally open until June. In 1954 a new hospital of 29 beds was constructed on the present site, through the very generous support of all the citizens, firms, and service clubs in the area. Today Bingham Memorial Hospital is an acute general hospital which provides a wide range of in-patient, long term, chronic care, emergency, out-patient, and ambulatory care services.
Iroquois Falls:
Anson General Hospital was founded in 1955 as a state of the art health care facility that could meet most major medical needs. Since then, the hospital has sought to employ the latest technologies in their bid to provide top-line service.
Cochrane:
Lady Minto Hospital in Cochrane was founded in 1911 to serve the needs of local patients with the highest levels of medical care possible. Though the hospital has occupied more than one facility over the past century, it’s mission remains unchanged, bringing state of the art medical solutions to those in need.
