DUNNVILLE—The Haldimand War Memorial Hospital’s Volunteer Association has donated just over $18,000 to purchase much needed equipment to provide comfort to patients in the hospital.
Slightly more than $7,700 from the sale of about two years’ worth of HELLP breakopen lottery tickets is being used to purchase two pressure mattresses.
Just over $10,000 from other fundraising initiatives is being directed to purchase a hydraulic shower chair. The chair will allow patients to be easily lifted from their beds and moved to the shower. The ergonomic chair can be lifted and tilted, and makes hygiene routines safer, more comfortable, and more dignified for the most vulnerable patients.
In addition to providing many thousands of service hours throughout the hospital and Edgewater Gardens each year, the Volunteer Association raises funds through sales in the Hidden Gem Gift Shop, raffles, bake sales, penny sales, and other activities.
