Raising money and awareness: HDHF Equip to Care campaign starts Monday
The Humboldt District Hospital Foundation Equip to Care campaign begins on Monday.
The 12th annual campaign raises awareness and funds, according to Executive Director Lorrie Bunko.
“It’s a perfect opportunity for us to come out and educate the whole district on the facility, what the current needs are, what services are being offered from the hospital, what kind of future planning is being done,” Bunko told northeastNOW. “This is the time when we get all of that information out, share it, and then we also, of course, fundraise.”
There is an extensive list of equipment needs for the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation. The largest ticket item is a digital x-ray upgrade worth $550,000. Other needs are a pharmacy upgrade, a bariatric bed, 10 inpatient beds, 10 air mattress pumps, three multi-position mobile recliners, two patient armchairs, and an O.R. positioner pad. The total equipment and project upgrades would cost $1,042,000.
