Donation Appreciated

 

STARS Air ambulance are thrilled with the new airborne ultrasound system they have received, courtesy of the Rotary Club of Cochrane and the Lindsay Leigh Kimmett Foundation. 

 

The Rotary Club of Cochrane in partnership with the Lindsay Leigh Kimmett Foundation donated $68,000 to STARS to purchase an airborne ultrasound system that will enhance the delivery of care to injured and acutely ill patients. The new ultrasound system will allow medical crews to identify life-threatening medical conditions, including hemorrhagic shock, ruptured aortic aneurysms, assessment of various severe cardiac problems and immediate indication of fetal compromise in acutely ill and injured pregnant mothers.
