The Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation has received a $10,000 grant from the Innisfil Community Foundation to help purchase new automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for Stevenson Memorial Hospital.
This funding will be used to replace aging defibrillators throughout the hospital, including in the Emergency Department, Surgical Services, crash carts, and for patient transfers to larger hospitals for specialized care. AEDs are life-saving devices used to restore a normal heartbeat during sudden cardiac arrest.
“Support from community partners like the Innisfil Community Foundation ensures our healthcare teams have access to the equipment they need to respond quickly in life-threatening emergencies,” says Dr. Ted Vandevis, President & CEO of Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. “This investment will help enhance patient care today while supporting the future of healthcare in our growing communities.”
Through The Morningview Foundation’s Every Dollar Counts matching gift initiative, the donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, increasing its impact to $20,000 in support of the hospital’s equipment needs and redevelopment efforts.
