2019 PROJECT:
2019 Festival of Trees funding will be used to purchase medical scopes.
The Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre uses a number of medical scopes every day. Over 35 scopes being used today in the outpatient and endoscopy departments are nearing their end of life.
Current scopes are no longer repairable and with fewer functioning scopes, increased wait times are a reality for patients.
Each year in our hospital, scopes are used in over 9,400 procedures. The instruments are used multiple times a day, and often save patients from having major invasive surgery.
Scope replacement is critical.
ABOUT FESTIVAL OF TREES:
Start your Christmas season off right! Whether you're looking for activities for the entire family or something fun to do with that someone special, Festival of Trees is Red Deer's premier Christmas community fundraiser, kicking off the Christmas season! Every year, Westerner Park transforms into a Christmas wonderland for all to enjoy.
Funds raised at Festival of Trees go to a specific department at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. Each year the receiving department is specially chosen based on the needs and demands of our hospital.
