Make a donation to the Memorial Hospital Auxiliary's Tree of Remembrance Fund.
The Auxiliary is able to assist the hospital in purchasing needed equipment for various departments through the community's generous donations and memorials.
Funds collected this year were used to purchase a Centrella Smart+ Bed. To really care for people, you must understand the patients you care for today—and tomorrow.
This bed helps meet the changing need of healthcare facilities and delivers elevated care through optimized patient safety, enhanced patient satisfaction and advanced caregiver-focused technology. The new bed will feature an in-bed scale for patients with a weight range of 70 - 500 lbs., motion activated nightlight, patient storage in the siderail, USB charger, obstacle detection system and LCD touchscreen. Cost for this bed is $13,587.63.
