​St. Josephs Health and Aging Program: i-Pads
Cost: $1000 x 5 = $5,000
We know that the support of family and friends is important during hospital stays and is necessary for the healing process. While the general population is slowly returning to normal activities following the pandemic the hospital community continues to follow infection control precautions which at times necessitates controlled or restricted in person visits. Having i-Pads available on our five Health and Aging units will provide the next best thing to in person visits when precautions are in place. The addition of i-Pads will also provide enhanced care and will help our patients stay connected with family while in hospital.

DONOR FUNDED

Ophthalmology Department - Ophthalmic Microscope
Cost - $107,000

The Annual Fund will support the purchase of an Ophthalmic Microscope to update and enhance the technology available to the Ophthalmologists.  Currently our Ophthalmologists are relying on a non-ophthalmic microscope which supports some procedures but not all.  A new dedicated microscope will enable the clinic to expand their scope of procedures improving patient outcomes.  The microscope will also provide higher quality optics and superior lighting for procedures.  In addition, procedures will also be diverted from the Day Surgery operating room freeing up space for other specialities.  Reduced wait times will decrease the risk of complications for many issues such as corneal perforations, eye lid lacerations and trauma to the tear ducts.
Orthopaedic Surgery Program
​
In 2022 the Surgical Team identified the need to support an enhancement to the minimally invasive arthroscopy suite supporting the Joint Preservation and Reconstruction Program, which includes shoulder, foot and ankle, knee, elbow, hand and wrist surgeries.

With funding for additional equipment, we welcomed a new physician, increased surgeries, and reduced wait times. Anyone who has experienced bone and joint pain realizes how time is crucial in relieving discomfort. Timely surgery can decrease pain and increase mobility, and allow patients a return to normal activity and a healthier lifestyle. 

Since its inception in 2021 over 1000 patients have had hip or knee replacement surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital, cutting the wait list in half. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT, AND FOR HELPING OUR TEAM TO CONTINUE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS!

THANK YOU!
