For North Wellington Health Care Louise Marshall Hospital

“As Manager of Labs for Wellington Health Care Alliance, I witness amazing work done in our labs. This year the lab at Louise Marshall Hospital (LMH) needs several upgrades. The Foundation added these projects to its annual equipment list and now seeks community support so we can maintain an efficient lab at our local hospital.

The Ontario government provides funding for operating costs to hospitals; however little funding is designated for new equipment. Generous donations from our community for equipment is essential.

My wish this Christmas is that you consider supporting the equipment projects for our lab as described in this Wish Book.

Thank you in advance for considering and supporting good health in your community. Wishing you all the best for the Holiday Season...”

“ A reagent freezer is an essential part of our lab at Louise Marshall Hospital.”

Karen Regan, Medical Lab Technologist

Laboratory freezers are required

equipment used to store testing

reagents, quality control material

and frozen plasma, a product

transfused to patients during a

massive transfusion or to a

bleeding patient with abnormal

coagulation.

The freezer is high performance

with built in remote alarms to

detect any fluctuations in

temperature that could

compromise the integrity of stored

material. This freezer

just arrived so funding is

needed.

Reagent Freezer

Karen Regan explains the efficient storage of various lab products kept in the freezer. More space and consistent temperature is essential.

A Reagent

Freezer costs

$13,000.

Blood Bank System

System costs

$25,000.

“Managing blood supply is a primary lab function. It is essential

to our hospital.”

Brenda Holliday , Lab Manager WHCA

Blood bank systems are used for critical tests

that identify a patient’s blood group, screen for

antibodies that may have developed and ensure

that blood that is being transfused is compatible

for the patient.

The proposed blood bank system will provide

standardized positive sample identification, an

automated reader to replace manual

interpretation and interfaced results with the

laboratory information system to eliminate the

possibility of transcription errors.

“Our hospital lab provides vital services for patients in this community. The Board of Directors for The Mount Forest Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation want to purchase this lab equipment. With you, it is possible.

During 2017-18 the Foundation must raise $533,500. The lab equipment is included in this amount. Also funding needs to be completed for the ER and Ambulatory Care Redevelopment which goes to tender in 2018.

Our community deserves the best hospital. Join our sleigh ride to keep it that way!

The best of this holiday season to all…”
