Director of Nursing/Executive Officer Ann Bodill said the volunteers’ donation was valued at $10,720 and was greatly appreciated by staff.
An ECG machine is used to measure the rate and regularity of a patient’s heartbeats. It can also measure the size and position of the chambers of the heart, detect damage to the heart and measure the success of treatments or devices used to manage cardiac conditions.
“We are very grateful for the support we receive from this wonderful group of people who work so hard to fundraise for our hospital,” Ms Bodill said.
“They man the stalls at the IGA carpark every month, and in between stalls spend their time growing, making or producing goodies to sell at the stall.
“Every cent raised from people who support the stall comes back to the hospital, so we are very grateful to every single person who helps make donations such as this ECG possible.”
