4 FOCUS - DECEMBER 2017 The good news is that restoration work is progressing quickly. It’s estimated that the hospital will reopen spring/summer of 2018. Asbestos removal and complete clean up has already taken place. All equipment funded by donations is intact and all patient care areas were undamaged. Insurance covers the cost of all repairs; however, your support is still needed. Before August 25th we had a list of equipment needs totalling over $400,000 that we were committed to purchasing. We will still need to buy these items in preparation for when the hospital reopens. Included on the list is a specialty monitor requested by Dr. Suri for thyroid procedures, as well as infant warmers for the New Life Centre and new infusion pumps with Smart Technology for all patient areas of the hospital. We still need your help! The fire of August 25th really brought home to us how important it is to have a hospital in our community. Bright! Bright!
