Let’s Spread Some Joy Together This Holiday Season
Acute Care/ER 2019 Wish List
12 Patient Room Recliners ($23,154) Bladder Scanner ($11,700) 10 IV Poles ($4,051)
DonateOur local caregivers working in acute and emergency room care have asked for your help to purchase the following items:
- 12 Patient Room Recliners ($23,154)
- Bladder Scanner ($11,700)
- 10 IV Poles ($4,051)
They currently do not have enough recliners for all patient rooms. They would like to have a recliner for each room as they are highly used by patients and their families and provide an extra bit of comfort during difficult times. They need 12 to have one in each room, but would even appreciate a few new ones.
Their current bladder scanner will be obsolete by the end of this year and has had to be sent in to be recalibrated and repaired several times. This new equipment will not only benefit the Acute Care department, but the ER and Outpatient departments as well.
They would like 10 new poles to replace some of the older poles which are rusty and difficult to push. These would also benefit the ER and Outpatient departments.
Central Services 2019 Wish List
Refurbished Vacuum Steam Sterilizer ($25,163) 2 Patient Carts ($12,167)
DonateOur local caregivers working in the OR and Central Services have asked for your help to purchase the following items:
- Refurbished Vacuum Steam Sterilizer ($25,163)
- 2 Patient Carts ($12,167)
Their current sterilizer is gravity fed and outdated, so they could use an updated one.
The hydraulics on their current carts are beginning to fail. A few new carts would not only improve patient comfort but make it bit easier for our caregivers to transport them.
Education 2019 Wish List
CPR Equipment: Manikins, AED Trainers, Storage Cart ($18,086)
DonateOur local caregivers working in education have asked for your help to purchase the following items:
- CPR Equipment: Manikins, AED Trainers, Storage Cart ($18,086)
TCLMH currently has 2 full sets of manikins and 4 AED trainers which are over 15 years old and need to be updated to comply with AHA requirements. This equipment is used for CPR certification and first aid training in partnerships throughout the community, including fire departments, local coaches, local daycares, and community classes.
Endowed Fund 2019 Wish List
Support our endowed fund and give the gift that keeps on giving.
DonateNot sure which project to choose? Give the gift that keeps on giving by donating to our endowment.
An endowed fund is a permanent, self-sustaining source of support. Each year, a portion of the value of the fund is paid out to support the fund’s purpose, and any earnings in excess of this distribution are used to build the fund’s market value. In this way, an endowment fund can grow and support its designated purpose in perpetuity. When you establish an endowment fund, you create a permanent legacy of support for Health Care in Trego County.
ER 2019 Wish List
Digital Scale ($755) IV Vein Light ($5,795) 2 Hill-Rom Stretchers ($12,167)
DonateOur local caregivers working in emergency room and outpatient services have asked for your help to purchase the following items:
- Digital Standing Scale ($755)
- IV Vein Light ($5,795)
- 2 Hill-Rom Stretchers ($12,167)
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.
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.
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.
In Kind Donation 2019 Campaign
Spread some joy to those who need it most. Personal Stereo/CD Players
DonateAn easy way to make a big impact is with an in-kind donation. This year, our caregivers are asking for a few personal stereo cd players. They would like to use these to play comforting music for patients or their families during difficult times. A small donation can help us purchase these, or if you’d like to pick one up during your holiday shopping, you can drop it by our office. As always, thank you for spreading joy to those who need it most.
