I was honored to introduce Stacey Chapman and Cassandra Collett of the Cobequid Health Centre Foundation to the Legislature!
The Foundation recently finished fundraising for two new GI Genius units for its Endoscopy Clinic, which will greatly improve screening and outcomes for those suffering from colorectal cancer.
The Cobequid Health Centre Foundation expects to spend all of May – Cobequid Month – fundraising for a Transvaginal Ultrasound Probe, which will improve patient comfort during exams and improve diagnostic accuracy for issues like urinary tract infections or congenital uterine anomalies.
Thanks for coming out Stacey and Cassandra!
You can watch the recorded Member Statement below:
PAUL WOZNEY « » : Speaker, I rise to recognize champions of health care progress in Sackville. Founded by nurses who recognize the pressing need for improved health care in our area, the Cobequid Health Centre Foundation maintains a legacy of generosity and selflessness by bringing new technologies and services to the Cobequid Health Centre that simply would not exist otherwise.
The foundation recently concluded fundraising for new GI Genius units for its endoscopy clinic. This technology promises to transform colorectal cancer screening at the Cobequid Health Centre and contribute to better outcomes for those suffering from the disease, which has one of the highest mortality rates of all cancers.
Not content to rest on this success, the Cobequid Health Centre Foundation will spend all of May – Cobequid Month – fundraising for a trans-vaginal ultrasound probe, which will improve patient comfort during exams and improve diagnostic accuracy for issues like urinary tract infections or congenital uterine anomalies.
I ask all in attendance to join me in thanking Stacey and Cassandra for not only maintaining our community’s health but for improving it for years to come.
