GRH looks to the future

The Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation took a moment to celebrate the past 50 years and look ahead to what is in store for the next year during an event at GRH.

“It’s people like you who help make the foundation succeed. This is a community hospital. This is our ‘thank-you’ to you,” Board Chair Peter Fallow said to board members and donors in attendance.

After recognizing some longtime donors and supporters of the foundation, GRH Foundation Manager Patrick Flynn laid out the vision for the upcoming year with regard to some of the equipment the hospital hopes to acquire.

The previous year saw the hospital, with the help of foundation funding, bring in several new items, most notably a Sim Man, a state-of-the-art machine that is able to replicate real-life scenarios and reactions for training.

GRH is aiming to purchase new items in the upcoming year as well as upgrade pieces of equipment it already owns, including hemodialysis machines for the intensive care unit, a sterilization machine called The Torch, and telehealth remote presence devices.
