With the New Year now here, the Lady Dunn Health Centre Foundation is preparing to wrap up its annual holiday fundraising campaign.
The foundation's annual "Wish Upon A Star" campaign concludes today, and Foundation Chair Lina Rody reminds it aims to raise as much as it can to support an important equipment purchase.
Rody notes donations were particularly strong on "Giving Tuesday", with more than $4000 received, far exceeding the foundation's $1000 goal for the day.
The current campaign is part of efforts to raise $125,000 for a "Medical Device Reprocessing Device" - important for ensuring equipment at the hospital is safe to use - and Rody notes $40,000 had already been raised before the Wish campaign began.
Donations can be made at the hospital or online.
