Impact of Donations

Thank you to all of our donors who helped make a new Cysto Video Scope to Cobequid Centre’s Endoscopy Clinic possible.

The cystocope is an optical instrument (a scope) that is inserted through the urethra into the bladder.

The urology clinic completes cystoscopies every Tuesday and Thursday. This valuable service helps physicians determine many types of diagnosis and provide treatment.

Thank you to all of our donors who helped bring a new Scope Reprocessing System to Cobequid Centre’s Endoscopy Clinic.

This system cleans and sterilizes scopes to ensure they meet the strict criteria for use with patients.

In this very busy department, this equipment is critical in order to keep patient appointments possible, on time and conducted safely.

The generosity of our donors means Rehabilitation Services has a new portable ultrasound. Our physio team thanks you!

This machine, used by our physiotherapists, helps reduce swelling in the beginning stages of healing. It sends high frequency sound waves into the tissues to mobilize fluid and increase circulation.

It is used on approximately 70% of acute patients in this department.

Thank you to our donors who made a bariatric chair possible for our Emergency Department. This helps provide more inclusive, safer and comfortable care.

This chair has a wider chair surface. The motor allows our healthcare professionals to safely recline and raise patients. It has the weight capacity of 700 lb.

The design aids in the reduction of pressure sores, general discomfort and infection control.

Thank you to a donor who made a new family room within our Emergency Department possible.

This provides a quiet and private space for families to make phone calls, have discussions and help provide support to their ill family member.

Thanks you so much!

Thank you to our donors who made a bariatric stretcher possible for our Emergency Department. This stretcher helps provide more inclusive, safer and comfortable care.

The wider bed surface allows for easier turning and stability of patients. Our healthcare professionals can safely raise and lower the beds surface with the hydraulic lift system. It has the weight capacity of 700 lb.
