It was crystal clear that the community enjoyed the Crystal Ball Gala in support of our very own Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington. Both Tanya & I are so proud to be a part of a community that really cares. When it comes to healthcare, the Burlington and surrounding communities know how to step up to the challenge of raising much needed funds for the hospital and this year was no different. With an impressive turn out, this year’s Gala also fell on the 50th anniversary of the hospital making all of the donations that much more special for everyone including the Rocca Sisters team.
The Gala was held this past Saturday, May 14th at the new Burlington Mercedes-Benz dealership and featured dinner and a silent auction. We had a fantastic time, and it was wonderful to see so many members of our incredible community band together for such a great cause.
Since 2001, the Crystal Ball has raised over $2.5 million dollars to support our local healthcare. The proceeds that were raised from this year’s function will go towards the purchase of new patient monitors for the Intensive Care Unit, the Post Anesthetic Care Unit for surgery recovery, the Progressive Care Unit for patients stabilizing after the I.C.U, and Emergency & Telemetry for cardiac patients. Thanks to the money raised for this program, Joseph Brant Hospital will be one step closer to providing even better care for our family and friends.
These patient monitors are a critical component of patient care and will provide vital information to our healthcare workers that will allow them to respond more quickly and accurately. The state-of-the art patient monitors that Joseph Brant hopes to obtain will help to enhance the safe and efficient care of the very sickest of patients and will help to save lives.
The cost of this project is over $2 million, and the Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital is asking for your support. As government funding does not cover equipment upgrades, the hospital is asking the community for help. By donating to the Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital, you are making a contribution to not only your community, but to the healthcare of your family and friends.
