Your generous gifts at work
Because of donors like you, kids at the Stollery can receive world-class care with cutting-edge equipment.
Last year we asked for our donors’ support to purchase a CATSmart Continuous Autotransfusion System.
Equipment like this is one of the reasons that the Stollery Children’s Hospital continues to be the most specialized children’s hospital in Western Canada.
The Stollery Children’s Hospital medical teams were delighted to learn that, once again, Stollery supporters responded with love and generosity.
Here’s some more information on the equipment donors like you made possible:
The CATSmart Continuous Autotransfusion System is like a blood recycling machine. It takes the blood a patient loses during surgery and “recycles” it for infusion back into the patient.
That means our little patients don’t have to rely on a blood transfusion or the availability of the right blood. They get their own blood back!
Like all pediatric equipment, this system was expensive, and we again relied on our community of supporters.
