My Hospital, Our Future

Think of your body as a computer. Your brain is both the hard drive and the processor. It’s where everything is stored, all programs, files, memory. The heart, however, is the power supply. And without the power supply, nothing else works.

We all may know someone who has suffered a cardiac event. From full scale heart failure to a blocked coronary artery, a cardiac emergency is a grave situation and can mean life or death.

The medical teams in the Victoria Hospital are trained and knowledgeable on how to diagnose and stabilize you should you come in with heart attack symptoms. They’re also here for you when you return home post-surgery to help you grow stronger and manage your heart health.

But we need to put the best tools into the hands of our people.

Our radiothon is now fourteen years old! Over 6.7 million dollars has been raised for better health care, right here at home. This year’s Give a Little Life Day will raise money to purchase new equipment and technology that will help patients who come to us with cardiac failure.

DID YOU KNOW? 100% of your donation stays right here in our community!

The Equipment:

• A portable digital radiography x-raymachine: this is a compact apparatus that can be taken to the patient in a hospital bed or the emergency room. A chest X-ray shows the doctor pictures that can help confirm the presence of a valve disorder and provide important detailed information about your condition and its seriousness. Chest X-rays are useful for diagnosing heart failure. It produces immediate images for medical teams to view with zero wait time. Less wait time, means quicker treatment plan, less damage to the heart and faster action.
• Telemetry units: This portable and remote equipment is used once you are on your way back to health. During rehab in our FitLife program in Prince Albert, you will wear a device while being monitored by medical teams as you exercise at the Alfred Jenkins Fieldhouse. While you walk or run, your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels will be closely watched to ensure that while you exercise your heart, you are safe.
• Two Echo Ultrasound Beds: These are special beds used by our sonographers. When receiving an ultrasound of your heart, it is important that the patient is comfortable, that the sonographer has access to their patient from all sides for better images and that there are no barriers. Better images mean more accurate diagnosis.
