24 Nov 2020

ALMOST $40,000 worth of medical equipment was handed over to staff of Innisfail Hospital in October.
An Accuvein worth $14,663, fibrescope worth $15,667, ear toilet worth $7331 and birthing pool worth $1380 are the result of dedicated fundraising in the Innisfail community.
The Innisfail Friends of the Hospital Foundation thanked the community for its continued support in making our hospital as good as a hospital should be.
“Also a special mention to Innisfail McDonalds for their continued yearly support in assisting the Foundation’s vital equipment initiatives,” president Estelle Kopp said.
“We are ever so grateful for every one of you and we make the commitment to you to strive forward in our future efforts to ensure that your medical treatment is compatible with all health care needs,” she said.
