Our 35th Annual Gala, proudly presented by the Jourdain Family, was in full bloom with fundraising proceeds raised going towards the purchase of essential life-saving equipment, in addition to funding other high priority needs for Ridge Meadows Hospital and health care in our community.
Our 35th Annual Gala, Emerald Garden, presented by the Jourdain Family, was a shining success.
Over 250 attendees participated whole-heartedly in a night of fundraising, food, and dancing, all in support of life-saving equipment and other high priority health care needs at Ridge Meadows Health and in the community.
Attendees were given the opportunity to make a charitable ‘From the Heart’ contribution in a live auction format to help purchase a Gastroscope for Ambulatory Care.
Ambulatory Care’s Endoscopy Unit at RMH needs an additional Gastroscope. Gastroscopy is usually done to investigate the causes of symptoms such as heartburn, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, vomiting or bleeding from the digestive tract, and to make or confirm a diagnosis. Gastroscopes are also a valuable tool in diagnostic and therapeutic upper GI evaluation and management of various diseases and disorders, such as cancer diagnosis, the removal of polyps, and widening of narrowed esophagus. Urgent care endoscopy procedures at RMH have increased over 50% between 2021 and 2022. Adding another gastroscope and increasing our inventory at RMH will help us to meet the increasing demand for urgent and emergent endoscopy procedures.
