VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPE

With sincere gratitude, Pender Community Hospital wishes to acknowledge the continued support of the medical staff and the gifts of two generous contributions that demonstrate community partnering to ensure exceptional health care services are available.

The Surgical Services Department has received a grant of $14,000 from the Gardner Foundation, Wakefield, NE and $3,638 from the Pender Community Health Care Foundation to help acquire a specialized instrument called a "Video Laryngoscope".

This video laryngoscope is among some of the very latest technology that allows health care professionals to see the breathing passage by way of a small camera which can be placed in the mouth. It can be used to help insert a breathing tube in a person who needs one during a medical or surgical procedure and in situations where there is a need for emergency breathing help.

Again, on behalf of the Pender Community Hospital Staff, thank you for your generosity in support of our mission-to provide a continuum of exceptional health care services in a healing environment for everyone.
