Mission Community Foundation Donates $10,000 for Vital OB/Gyn Stretcher to Mission Memorial Hospital

Mission Community Foundation has generously donated $10,000 to Mission Memorial Hospital (MMH) for the purchase of a much-needed OB/Gyn stretcher for the Emergency Department. This crucial piece of equipment will significantly enhance the hospital’s ability to provide specialized and timely care for women experiencing gynecological emergencies. 

According to Megan Emberson, ED LPN Educator, “the OB/Gyn stretcher in a community Emergency Department ensures that women receive timely, specialized, and comfortable care during emergencies, ultimately improving patient outcomes and satisfaction. Also having a second OB/Gyn stretcher will allow us to treat more than one gynecological emergency within the same time period”. 

The addition of this new stretcher will allow MMH to improve the quality of care for women in Mission community, ensuring they receive the specialised attention they need during critical moments. 

Mission Community Foundation’s donation was made possible through the support of Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation. This collaborative effort highlights the impact that community partnerships can have on improving healthcare access and quality. 

“Thanks to Mission Community Foundation, we are able to focus on women’s health needs and provide the best possible care” said Elizabeth Harris, Executive Director, Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.
