What Rod Goodall thought was a typical flu turned into a 3-week stay at Sault Area Hospital. Thanks to your donations, he was able to receive lifesaving care, right here at home.

Because of your generosity, two brand-new C-Arms arrived at Sault Area Hospital this spring. When you look at the picture above, it’s easy to see why these special pieces of equipment are called “C-Arms”. These x-ray imaging devices are shaped like the letter “C”! A C-Arm lets care providers see inside the body, showing real-time x-ray images during surgeries and procedures.

Many pieces of hospital equipment use the word “scope” in their name. Whether they’re an “endoscope” or a “microscope”, these tools help our care teams get a closer look. Each tool comes in a different size and shape for a specific purpose, and this year our surgical department needs to replace a few of them.
