Lee Hospital Foundation's annual gala evtning and auction was focal health care, says Terrace Health Care society’s chief executive . officer, Michael Leisinger said the event raised approximately $30,000 for the foundation which is currently in the midst of a drive to purchase a CT Scan for Mills Memorial hospital. While residents were well aware of the CT Scan campaign, he pointed out the foundation also helped the facility in other ways. In the past, that had included purchase of a ventilator for the intensive care unit and the awarding of a $1,000 bursary ' which assisted a nurse to complete her Bachelors of Nursing degree. Some of the money raised June'l would also be used to pro- vide a microscope unit for the pathologist and equipment to improve gall bladder surgery as well. While emphasizing the CT Scan was still ‘number one’, he said, ‘‘the other needs of the society don’t stand still.”’ ’ As to what other ideas the foundation might have for rais- ing money over the rest of the year, Leisinger said that would be decided at its next meeting. However, it would be repeating last year's extretnely successful cash’ calendar promotion: ** Search for home is on Finding suitable office f space is high on the agenda for the proposed Community Volunteer Bureau/Seniors’ Information Access centre.
