Five Northern Health Authority locations are receiving funding for various items thanks to a Spring Grant from the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.

The grant totals $709,539 and is going into equipment, education, and enhancements to healthcare.

The University Hospital of Northern BC is using funds for an otoacoustic emission system, constellation vision system, OT pressure mapping system, cardiac pacemaker monitors, enteral feeding pumps, bone density measurement machine, and the peripheral equipment for the new breast health imaging centre. The Fraser Lake Health Facility, Mackenzie, Fort St. John, and Spruceland Dormitory locations also received funding (see chart).

“Spirit of the North is grateful to our many donors who so generously provide funds to better health outcomes in the region. The funds are graciously received through our sustainable supporters, sponsors, and those who support the events that are hosted as part of the Spirit’s community giving. Through these donations we are able to support Northern Health, other specialized healthcare agencies, and the education of healthcare workers,” said Judy Neiser, CEO for Spirit of the North, in a statement.
