Before every trip to the grocery store, you likely create a list of ‘essential items’.  Bread; milk; cheese; or eggs.  OTMH has a list of ‘essential items’ too, and we need your help to check them off our shopping list.

Our list includes vital medical equipment we need to buy. It covers every department. And it affects the lives of the patients we proudly serve, because up-to-date equipment is essential to offering excellent patient care. 

As you are likely aware, government funding alone can’t meet the hospital’s equipment needs. But with the help of friends like you, we can buy the much needed equipment on our shopping list and continue to give you and your loved ones access to the highest quality healthcare services – right here in your community.  This year, we plan to provide OTMH with $2.5 Million in funds to purchase life-saving equipment, including:

1. a Cardiac Ultrasound Machine, for the Cardio Respiratory Department ($169,105)
2. an Anaesthesia Gas Machine, for the Surgical Program ($144,012)
3. four portable Critical Care Monitors, for the Intensive Care Unit ($109,100)
4. an Infant Warmer for the Maternal Child Department ($34,358)
5. four Blood Centrifuges, for the Laboratory ($23,566)
6. a Cardiac/O2 Monitor for the Maternal Child Department ($10,488)

As you can see, the price of these items varies greatly, with some costing tens of thousands of dollars. But generous contributions from loyal friends like you make it possible for us to meet the equipment needs of our community Hospital.  Today’s needs are being met, and so are tomorrow’s, as all equipment purchased for OTMH in the next few years will move with us to the New Oakville Hospital.
