On-Air for Healthcare will ‘Test. Treat. Save Lives’

It’s time to beat the bugs.

Once again, the Battlefords Healthcare Foundation is getting set to launch their capital campaign and this year wish to bring advanced diagnostic equipment to the Battlefords. The radiothon will take place May. 9.

The ‘Test. Treat. Save Lives’ campaign is looking to raise $400,000 and once again the On Air for Healthcare Radiothon will bring the effort to the community.

Stories and interviews with doctors, nurses and stakeholders from the Battlefords Union Hospital will light up the airwaves to share the importance of what microbiology equipment such as systems that allow for faster testing times and results will mean for patients.

Should the community succeed, what used to take days will now only need just hours to complete and patients that come to the hospital with minor ailments that become life threatening will have better outcomes.

Local businesses will be selling $2 Mic Cards for residents to buy to show their fundraising spirit and contribute to the cause.
