Urgent Needs 2011-2012

The government does not provide funding to Headwaters

for the purchase of new equipment. 

And so, every wheelchair, surgical instrument, bed side monitor, ultrasound machine – every tool used in the care and treatment of our patients – must be purchased through the generosity of people in our community. It's only through the caring support of the community that we continue to have a well-equipped hospital.

This year the hospital needs to purchase over $1.5 million in new equipment.

How does the Foundation decide what it will buy?

The Foundation relies upon the Hospital's Management, staff and physicians to determine exactly what the Hospital needs.   Each year the Hospital undertakes a capital budgeting process, which identifies it's equipment and facility needs.  Each identified need is then ranked in order of priority.  This list is provided to the Foundation and together, we negotiate how many of the priority items can be funded annually.  The Foundation's primary role is to operate fundraising programs that will meet the funding targets in any given year and to work with the Hospital to ensure out donor's money is spent on it's intended use.
