2023 was another good year for the Dauphin Hospital Foundation, as it celebrated its 35th anniversary with a number of generous donations.
Foundation board chair Greg Thompson says a ten-thousand-dollar contribution from the RBC Foundation was put into the Delha Cort Educational Trust Fund, which allows nurses to upgrade their skills.
The foundation has background information and an online application form for the educational fund on their website www.dghf.ca, if there are any hospital staff that want to improve their education and skill set.
Other significant contributions in 2023 came from the likes of the Dauphin branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Dauphin Memorial Ride, and the Parkland U18 Rangers from their Hockey Fights Cancer night, as well as some first-time contributions from several individuals.
As for major purchases last year, the Foundation was able to add a specialized operating table to the Dauphin Regional Health Centre surgical suite, valued at 59 thousand dollars.
