The Annual Chances Casino Light A Moose Radiothon Returns to Support the Fort St. John Hospital Foundation.
We’re excited to announce the return of the Annual Chances Casino Light A Moose Radiothon from November 19th -21st, where we’ll be broadcasting live from outside the casino, bringing the community together to raise funds for a critical cause: improved patient care at the Fort St. John Hospital.
This Year’s Goal: $150,000 for 3 new pieces of technology for our Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The ICU is a vital component of our community’s healthcare, offering life-saving interventions for patients in critical condition. The ICU in the FSJ Hospital serves patients throughout the Northeast (Fort St. John, Hudson’s Hope, Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, and Fort Nelson).
With our ICU now functioning at full capacity, it is more important than ever to ensure our skilled healthcare professionals have the tools they require to save the lives of our loved ones. Keeping our loved ones closer to home in times of need. To ensure our ICU is equipped to meet the growing needs of the community it would greatly benefit an Ultrasound with a thoracic probe to ensure accurate and immediate heart monitoring, a Transport Monitor to ensure patients requiring to be transported within the hospital for further diagnostics are monitored in real time while in transport and undergoing further diagnostics such as MRI’s and CT scans, and a Temperature Management System to maintain optimal body temperatures during recovery.
The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides intensive treatment and monitoring for patients with life-threatening conditions. It is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, all trained to manage high acuity patients.
The ICU at the FSJ Hospital serves patients throughout the Northeast (Fort St. John, Hudson’s Hope, Chetwynd, Fort Nelson, and Dawson Creek). The next closest ICU is in Prince George. Transferring a patient out of the community is costly and takes patients far from home.
Providing the ICU with the equipment they require will ensure not only the best care for our community, but it will also ensure the doctors have the tools they need to provide the best possible care.
How can you help?
This is where you come in! We need our community to come together to make this vital piece of equipment a reality. Every dollar counts, and with your help, we can provide this much-needed technology to the hospital. You can donate below or by calling 250-793-0998 during the Radiothon.
Join us on November 19th-21st to Light A Moose for the Fort St. John Hospital Foundation and make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of our community!
