Through the generosity of our sponsors, donors and volunteers, the Foundation makes purchases to benefit the health of the community we serve.
Medical equipment purchases help ensure our community can access quality care that’s close to home. Below is a list of recently purchased items:
The Arctic Sun® Temperature Management System is an external cooling system used to lower body temperature in stroke and cardiac patients to help preserve brain function.
Affirm® Upright Breast Biopsy Guidance System is a minimally invasive procedure performed onsite using 3D imaging. 3D imaging provides a more accurate target of lesions and allows the radiologist to sample the breast tissue using a specialized needle resulting in shorter procedure times.
Most women can resume normal daily activities immediately following their procedure.
This technology allows for the detection of radiation for use during lymph node biopsies and other procedures. Its enhanced directionality means quick and accurate identification, which leads to less dissection and improved procedures.
A CRRT machine was purchased for the WHS Critical Care Unit with funds from the Hearts for Hope fundraising event in 2015. This is a dialysis machine used for critically ill hospitalized patients.
Dialysis stations allow for the ability to provide the treatment to an increased number of patients.
The digital core specimen radiography system provides high-resolution biopsy imaging within seconds.
Education kits provide information and answers to the many questions that are often asked by new parents.
3D Mammography is the only mammogram that is FDA-approved as superior for women with dense breasts. 3D mammograms allow doctors to examine breast tissue layer by layer, providing better images of each breast.
Radiologists are able to more accurately screen, triage to biopsy, or dismiss a potential false positive — for women across a variety of ages and breast densities.
Why Choose 3D Mammography?
- Greater accuracy of breast cancer compared to 2D alone
- It finds 20-65% more invasive breast cancers than 2D mammography alone
- Reduces unnecessary callbacks by up to 40%
- Recommended for women of all ages, breast densities and a family history of breast cancer
