The Northern Regional Health Authority’s Thompson clinic received a new high-low exam bed Nov. 21 through a donation from the Thompson Health Auxiliary.
The auxiliary purchased the bed, which cost about $10,000, with the help of grants from the Thompson Community Foundation, the Moffat Family Fund and the Irene Moore Fund.
And all-volunteer organization, the Thompson Health Auxiliary’s main way of raising money is by operating the Thompson General Hospital gift shop.
“The health auxiliary raises money, and all funds stay local, to purchase health care equipment and items deemed to bring comfort to all those in the health care system,” said auxiliary member Wendy Lucas.
