Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation Pledging $655,000 Over Next Two Years

July 28, 2022 

The Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation is excited to announce a pledge of $655,000 over the next two years to the Seaforth Community Hospital. This pledge will support the purchase of capital equipment identified by the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance, such as a new Ultrasound suite.

Ultrasounds play an essential role in helping healthcare professionals monitor pregnancies, and diagnose and determine treatment for a variety of conditions and diseases. The Medical Imaging team utilizes ultrasound on a daily basis. The current equipment is nearing its end of life increasing the risk of service interruptions if replacement parts are not available or delayed, and limit access to ultrasounds for patients. Ultrasound units are portable allowing use in the Imaging Department, inpatient unit and Emergency Department. The new equipment will allow enhanced visualization of deeper structures in the patient’s body; superior quality of images; user-friendly features for the technologist; a larger monitor for clear viewing; and state-of-the-art software.

This pledge also will support the purchase of equipment for the Lab, inpatient unit and Emergency Department, wheelchairs, staff training resources as well as other equipment identified as priorities for Seaforth Community Hospital.

“The Foundation applauds the generosity of our donors who help to ensure that Seaforth Community Hospital has the equipment it needs to continue providing exceptional care to our community,” says Ron Lavoie, Foundation Chair.

• Mail a cheque to the Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation at PO Box 99, Seaforth, ON N0K 1W0.
