Equipment Needs

Your children were born here, a grandparent lives here and your friend’s life was saved here. We understand that often we forget the impact health care has on our lives unless we are at the center of a crisis.

Our Campbell River Hospital touches the lives of more than

people in our community and the North Island.

There are nearly

babies born in our hospital each year.

Each year, our hospital performs over

x-rays and

mammograms.

On average, there are more than

ultrasounds performed each day, that is more than

each year.

Our hospital has one of the most efficient ICU’s in the Province. In 2018 alone, our ICU had more than

ventilator hours.

Our Current Top Priorities

Hospital equipment is advancing rapidly with new technology making it easier to diagnose and treat diseases and disorders. The Campbell River Hospital Foundation is raising money to purchase the equipment our doctors have identified as most urgent. Some items are new and some are replacement items for old and outdated equipment. Every single piece of equipment on our wish list is vital to our hospital’s ability to offer you and those you love the very best treatment and care.

The Sonosite LX Machine allows for greater point-of-care diagnostics within the Emergency Department.  The Sonosite LX provides advanced image clarity allowing physicians to diagnose certain conditions right in the ED as opposed to being sent to the medical imaging department for more extensive and expensive procedures. Sonosite is also dedicated to clinician education and offers more than 150 scan-along education tutorials on board the machine for COVID-19, diagnosis, procedures, pathology, and system and transducer use.

Echocardiography

Learn More

Echocardiography releases high-frequency sound waves. An Echocardiogram is performed by placing a transducer on the chest and aiming it at the heart. The transducer releases high frequency sound waves and picks up the echoes of sound waves and transmits them as electrical impulses.  The Echocardiography Machine converts these impulses into moving pictures of the heart.
