Pumps for Life Campaign
2020 saw us kick off our latest capital campaign—Pumps for Life. BRHC has 360 infusion pumps that have reached end of life and need to be replaced. As part of a Provincial replacement project the Foundation has agreed to purchase these replacement pumps at a cost of $900,000.
An infusion pump is used in all areas of healthcare. Staff use these pumps to deliver intravenous fluid whether it is medication, blood transfusions, chemotherapy agents, fluid replacement and special feeding.
As is always the way of our supporters you have embraced our campaign and we are well on our way to meeting this target. At our year end we were already looking at a campaign balance of $586,547.04 Thank you for helping us help healthcare at the Brandon Regional Health Centre.
