The Spirit of the North Health Care Foundation has helped provide Mackenzie with a transport ventilator system.
The ventilator system will help when transporting patients to a larger hospital, especially when transported by ambulance. The cost of the ventilator system is $35,000, Enbridge gave $10,000 to help support the purchase of the unit. The remainder of the cost was supported by local donations through the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
On average at least 1 to 2 patients a month are being transferred. The equipment is suitable for pediatric and adult patients.
