Elks Donate Audiology Equipment
The Elks Lodge in Grand Falls-Windsor recently donated $1,000 to the South and Central Health Foundation to be used to purchase much needed equipment at the Audiology Department of the Central Newfoundland regional Health Centre. The money will be used to purchase two new Otoscopes. An otoscope is the handheld light audiologists use to examine the patient’s ear. They perform otoscopy on each & every patient they see, often more than once if they are making earmolds, fitting a hearing aid, etc. This is a vital initial examination before an audiologist can proceed with any further hearing evaluation.
Have you or a loved one been helped as a result of a piece of equipment, or a health program, which has been funded by Foundation donors? Have you received care by a healthcare professional that goes above and beyond? Please take a minute to share your positive story with us!
