Our local caregivers working in emergency room and outpatient services have asked for your help to purchase the following items:
- Digital Standing Scale ($755)
Many medications in used in the ER, Outpatient, and Acute departments are dosed according to patient weight in kilograms. This is particularly important in pediatrics. A standing scale that provides weight in kilograms for children and adults would be beneficial so that providers may use precise patient weight information when prescribing medications.
- IV Vein Light ($5,795)
If you’ve ever had to endure several attempts to locate your vein for a blood test due to dehydration or chronic illness, you already understand how useful this tool will be. This light allows caregivers to easily identify veins in patients that are a hard IV start, saving them from repeated attempts. It could be used by the ER, Acute Care, and even the lab.
- 2 Hill-Rom Stretchers ($12,167)
The stretchers in the exam rooms are getting a bit old and rusty. Some have cracked bases, making them difficult to clean, which presents an infection control risk. New stretchers improve both patient comfort and safety.
