Fundraising Priorities

Each year, Port Perry Hospital staff, doctors, and Lakeridge Health’s capital planning team work together to identify the top priorities for the best in patient care.  The following list includes some of the high priority equipment that Lakeridge Health has asked for Port Perry Hospital Foundation’s help with.

This equipment is for use specifically at Port Perry Hospital and is made possible because of community support – people like you.

Contact Rachel Agnoluzzi at the Foundation office, 905-985-7321 ext 45581, to discuss how you might support Port Perry Hospital priorities listed below or other urgent equipment needs.

Dr. with Clipboard

AutoPulse CPR Aid – This machine can effectively take the place of a person providing CPR, freeing up staff to provide further care to the patient. This new technology is exceptionally valuable for small health centres like ours.

POCUS Device – Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is a powerful diagnostic tool that enables real-time imaging at the patient’s bedside. It provides immediate imaging right on the physician’s phone that assist in rapid decision-making.

Otoscope and PanOptic Ophthalmoscope – Just like the POCUS, today’s new technology in Otoscope tools can be viewed on a physician’s phone that allows them to have a better look inside the ear and eye during exams. These tools are transforming routine exams, making them more efficient and informative for the patient. 

ECG Machine – An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) machine records the heart’s electrical activity, creating a visual graph for diagnosis.

Surgical Table – A new addition will help ensure our Surgical team has what they need when regularly scheduled surgeries and emergency surgeries coincide.

Floor Cleaner – A clean hospital is so important to patient care. A new floor cleaner is needed to help with our Environmental services team in their work to ensure the best for patients, staff and visitors.

Vital Signs Monitors – Upgrade required for seven (7) of our current vital sign monitors. These machines measure a patient’s body temperature, pulse rate (heart rate), blood pressure and respiratory rate. 

CADD Solis Pumps – Upgrade required for three (3) of our units. These pumps provide new modern portable design with wireless connectivity and versatility vital for pain management. 

 Syringe Infusion Pump Request for one (1) new unit. This machine is an infusion device designed to deliver precise amounts of fluids, including medications and nutrients, into a patient’s body in a controlled manner. 

Walkers – Walkers are often key to bridging the gap between a patient’s hospital bed & building strength to get them home again. Ours need replacing. 

X-ray – Update to the hospital’s X-ray equipment is a key priority and will take us decades into the future with the most up-to-date technology including reduced radiation exposure.

Healthy Aging Outpatient Clinic – Developing a Healthy Aging Outpatient Clinic to support community members with chronic health concerns. More details to come soon!

Quality of Stay Aids

Bedside Tables and Overbed Tables – They may seem like a little thing, but they are so important for inpatient stays.  

Patient Room Whiteboards Upgrade/ replacement. These vital boards act as a visual aid that bridges the gap between medical staff and patients, providing a clear and concise way to share important information. 

iPads Request for three (3) new iPads with durable cases for our medical/surgical patients use, and for bedside physician video consults with patients and their family members who can’t be present.  

The above are just some of the priorities our Foundation can help the hospital with because of your support.
