The Foundation recently visited the Respiratory Therapy Unit to see a new piece of equipment that was funded by community support, from donors like you!

Pictured is Jill, Brandi, and Aryan with an Airvo 3 High Flow Therapy Unit ($17,000). This is a respiratory device that delivers warmed and humidified respiratory gases to spontaneously breathing patients. Two units were purchased for .

The benefit of these newer models is an integrated battery that facilitates 40 minutes of transport time, enabling patient mobilization throughout the hospital; and this machine can fit on patients as small as 1kg — an important feature that facilitates the treatment of smaller patients and those in need of additional respiratory support.

Thank you, Annapolis Valley, for your continued support to enhance healthcare here in your community!
