Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation received a $16,000 gift from the Ladner Legion that will go towards purchasing a mobilizing ceiling lift for the second floor of Delta Hospital’s busy medical unit.
The ceiling lift is an important piece of equipment for patients who have lost balance, strength and mobility due to injuries or medical conditions.
The foundation has received ongoing support from the Ladner Legion to the tune of more than $200,000 over the past 25 years. Support from the Legion has been integral for funding priority equipment needs across many hospital departments, including the ER, lab, medical floor, residential care and surgery.
“We are fortunate to have such longstanding support from the Ladner Legion,” says Angela Turner, major giving manager for the foundation. “They are so invested in creating a healthy and vibrant community and, as such, have given generously to our hospital.”
“Within the Legion there is a real sense of community. Many of our members and veterans have relied on Delta Hospital at some point, and a number have also worked in healthcare, including at Delta Hospital. The hospital holds a special place in our hearts,” says Ladner Legion manager Jacky Hillairet.
