We are delighted to announce that TB Vets has funded the acquisition of a crucial cough assist machine for the respiratory department at Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH). This vital equipment will significantly improve the quality of care for patients who are unable to cough and effectively clear secretions due to neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injuries, or severe fatigue associated with lung disease.
The cough assist is a game-changing tool, designed to help patients who struggle with natural coughing, ensuring that secretions are cleared effectively and reducing the risk of respiratory complications.
According to executive director of Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, Elizabeth Harris: “this donation is a transformative addition to our respiratory care capabilities”.
The hospital Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to TB Vets for their immense generosity and commitment to improving patient care. Dr. Jassal, donor relations, says “this donation not only represents a significant advancement in our respiratory care but also exemplifies the power of community support and philanthropy”.
