Limited Time: Double Your Impact on Urgent Equipment Needs
Fund St. Joe’s critical equipment needs today and amplify your impact, thanks to a generous new gift from the FDC Foundation. A gift today will help unlock the match donation, supporting life-changing diagnoses and patient outcomes through the funding of top priority anaesthesia gas machines, ultrasound machines, endoscopy equipment, and patient beds.
Our health teams work tirelessly to provide compassionate patient care to everyone who comes through our doors, but they are constrained by aging equipment and limited resources. We urgently need to replace some of the Hospital’s most-used devices—and with your support, we can.
EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL CARE
Essential to every surgery, these machines safely keep patients asleep and pain-free, carefully controlling oxygen and anesthesia. Many existing machines at St. Joe’s are nearing the end of their useful life. Support timely replacement with 15 new machines, valued at ~$134.5k each.
• Prevent surgery delays
• Contribute to faster recoveries
• Improve patient outcomes
EXTRAORDINARY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
Critical to most areas of the hospital, these imaging tools use sound waves to look inside the body and guide procedures safely, without radiation. 70–90% of St. Joe’s ultrasound units are nearing end-of-life. Support the purchase of 11 new machines, valued at ~$280.0k each.
• Reduce wait time
• Deliver faster, more accurate imaging
• Improve patient outcomes
EXTRAORDINARY IMAGING AND CARE
Critical to diagnosis and treatment, endoscopes are small cameras that allow doctors to see inside the body to diagnose and treat conditions without major surgery. Aging endoscopy equipment contributes to increases in “wait time”. Support the purchase of 5 new units, valued at ~$43.5k each.
• Strengthen workflows
• Increase access to care
• Improve patient outcomes
EXTRAORDINARY PATIENT FOUNDATIONS
They may not seem exciting, but beds are foundations of extraordinary hospital care. Damaged beds reduce capacity and slow patient flow. Fund the acquisition of 133 beds, valued at ~$16.5k each.
• Improve ER wait times
• Reduce delays in admissions and transfers
• Strengthen patient safety and comfort
Ensure St. Joe’s continues to provide extraordinary healthcare today and into the future.
*The FDC Foundation has already guaranteed and funded $2,500,000 for the purchase of this equipment. The FDC Foundation will provide an additional $1,250,000 if we can raise $3,750,000.
