Donation shines light on new VJH equipment

Kalamalka Rotary has donated $30,000 to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation bringing total Kal Rotary donations to the Foundation over the past 23 years to more than $225,000.

Over $175,000 of that amount was directed to Women’s and Children’s Health Services.

This most recent donation was used to help fund a state-of-the-art surgical lighting system in the fifth operating room in the Polson Tower as part of the Foundation’s Operation: Surgical Care for Life Campaign.

“We recognize that by providing state-of-the-art equipment to Vernon Jubilee, we are helping a large sector of the population who require surgery,” said Mike Nolan, Chair of the Kal Rotary Local Donations Committee. “This donation was made possible through the generosity of individuals, businesses and Rotarians who donate goods and services each year to the Kal Rotary Dream Auction and by guests who bid on these items.
