Supporting Medical and Surgical Patient Care Equipment

Each year, hundreds of patients are admitted to the Medicine and Surgical Units at Sturgeon Hospital for treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation following illness, injury, or surgery. These patients rely on highly skilled healthcare teams supported by modern, reliable equipment that enhances safety, comfort, dignity, and healing. As healthcare needs continue to grow and technology evolves, ensuring our clinical teams have access to critical equipment is essential to delivering the highest standard of care.

The Sturgeon Community Hospital is seeking $800,000 to help provide patient care equipment and the latest technology. This year’s funding request will support priority equipment identified by care teams to improve patient care and the experience of patients and families.

Care Priorities and Expected Benefits

This investment will support:

Patient Safety: Real-time monitoring equipment enables care teams to quickly detect condition changes and intervene.
Mobility and Comfort: Specialized lifts and aids support safe movement, greater independence, and reduced injury risks.
Patient and Family Experience: Therapeutic equipment enhances recovery and fosters a positive hospital stay.
Clinician Support: Modern assessment tools provide the necessary data for timely, informed care decisions.
Operational Efficiency: Daily clinical support tools streamline workflows for nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals.

Equipment Priorities

Mini C-Arm

A Mini C-Arm would provide real-time imaging during orthopedic assessments and minor procedures, particularly for hand, wrist, and other extremity injuries. This would help physicians make treatment decisions sooner and reduce reliance on imaging elsewhere.

Small Bone and Trauma Power Tool System

The Tool System is a next-generation orthopedic surgical power tool designed for use in various surgical procedures including trauma, small bone, sports medicine, spine and thoracic surgeries.

Maxi-Move Mobile Patient Lifts and Tenor Bariatric Mobile Lifts

These lifts will help care teams safely transfer and mobilize patients, including those who require specialized bariatric equipment. They will also reduce the physical strain of patient handling for staff.

Sara Stedy Standing Aid

The Sara Stedy will help patients move from sitting to standing and support safer transfers while reducing physical strain on staff.

By investing in Medical and Surgical patient care equipment, you are investing in better care, better outcomes, and healthier lives throughout our community.

Together, we can make a measurable difference in every patient's journey to recovery.
