To say our hearts are full would be an understatement. Thanks to the incredible generousity of everyone that supported our 40th Anniversary Gala, the event raised a grand total of $203,598 net proceeds and represents full funding for the $191,000 cardiac equipment project.
This advanced cardiac monitoring system is for the emergency department. ER Manager Danielle Browne shared, “Every patient deserves access to the tools that help us provide the safest, highest-quality care possible. By updating and expanding our standardized cardiac and central monitoring systems, we are modernizing the equipment used throughout the ER and ensuring more patient care spaces have access to current monitoring technology. This investment will help our healthcare team identify changes in a patient’s condition sooner, support timely interventions, and provide consistent, reliable information, helping us deliver exceptional care when every moment matters.”
The evening featured live and silent auctions, raffles, a delicious dinner and an incredible band. The Hometown Healthcare 50/50 raised a total of $16,030, with Lorne Keller taking home $8,015, and Bill Holmes Jr. winning the $1,000 early bird prize!
Wendy Kennelly, Foundation Executive Director noted, “All of us at the Foundation and the team in emergency extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed, from organizing committees to bidders, donors and sponsors, for helping to make the night a success.”
This investment in healthcare means investing in our community’s well-being. The monitoring system is more than an equipment upgrade; it is a meaningful investment in emergency care, stronger healthcare teams, and better outcomes for patients in our community.
