The 2011 Festival of Trees marked the 16th anniversary of thisseasonal event and was once again successful, both in meetingour fundraising goals and providing an entertaining three dayevent. Held at the Gold Ridge Centre, “The Little Black DressAffair” Ladies’ Night kicked off the Festival; and the ladies intheir little black dresses looked outstanding! “Black Magic” GalaEvening was well attended with close to 300 guests who dinedon succulent prime rib, bid on the live auction packages, andwere highly amused by Doug Arden’s comic routine. Carnival &Bazaar Day had close to 1200 visitors and guests of all agesenjoyed the audience interactive entertainment, local VIPannouncers, and local entertainment. The kids were active allday with the Battlefords North Stars Junior A hockey playerswho helped them make tree ornaments and decorate cookies,taking horse drawn wagon rides and having their picture takenwith Santa.

The decorated items and trees were varied, innovative andbeautifully designed. Funds raised were for specialized IVpumps and monitors for ER, the Surgical Unit, Maternity andthe Chemotherapy Unit. The IV pumps enables an infusionsystem that provides a precise delivery of multiple medications.It also ensures enhanced medical management of patient’smedication requirements and safety needs. Shelley Forbes, RNin Chemotherapy noted, “These IV pumps are a wonderfuladdition to the unit. They are essential equipment that betteraccommodate our clients and their families, allowing continuedimprovement to the health care we provide. We are grateful toeveryone who participated in Festival of Trees because yourgenerosity and kindness of spirit means we can give better careto some wonderful people.”

You would think that going to visit the Chemotherapy Unit(COPS) on the 3rd Floor at BUH would be, at the very least,uncomfortable, and ... you would be thinking wrong.

COPS nursing staff truly represent the artistic word art “Hope”and “Believe” that is displayed on the Unit’s window. Theirexpertise in chemotherapy nursing, their sensitive andempathetic nature in dealing with sick patients, worried friendsand family creates an optimistic and positive experience forclients visiting COPS. The Unit might be small, with patient’srecliner chairs close to one another, but this creates a bondingand social recovering time for clients during their chemotreatments. As patient Charlotte Dexter of Spiritwood pointedout, “If I have to go somewhere for this treatment I want it to beright here at Battlefords Union Hospital. Everyone is sopleasant and knowledgeable and I get to meet the nicestpeople.” Then she added with a grin “And it means we don’thave to get up early in the morning to drive to Saskatoon and

then try and find a parking spot and sit with people we don’tknow. I’d much sooner come and see these nice nurses and theother patients here!” Fellow patient Glen Mackrell of Battlefordagreed whole heartedly, “It is so nice to come to third floor andknow most everyone and even if you don’t you still get a cheeryhello. Chemotherapy can be a scary thing but these nursesknow what they are doing and make you feel safe and wellcared for.”

Robert and Sandra Stromberg have been long time, dedicatedsupporters of Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation.Though Robert and Sandra lived a major portion of their life inSaskatoon, where Robert became a senior partner of theRobertson Stromberg law firm, their connection with TheBattlefords remained strong. Robert’s father, Dr. Oscar Stromberg,was a physician at BUH for many years, and Robert remembershis childhood in The Battlefords with affection. These ties, and theirfamily cabin on Jackfish Lake, drew the couple back to TheBattlefords when determining a retirement home, and they are nowsettled on Jackfish Lake permanently.

Robert Stromberg, QC, has been a Director on the PotashCorpBoard of Directors since 1991. This company recognized that as alarge, world-wide corporation there was a need to promote aculture of community involvement and public awareness. Toachieve that end The Matching Gift Program was commenced.Under this program the company matches employee contributions(capped at a pre-determined level) to charitable organizations thatreflect that individual’s interests and priorities. Robert and Sandrasaw this as an ideal means of enhancing their support to BUHFoundation, and have been doing so for almost a decade.

In October 2011 the Foundation office was very blessed andgrateful to receive from Robert and Sandra Stromberg a pledge of$100,000 over the next five years. “Sandra and I have alwaysbelieved in the value of community support,” observed Robert,“and BUH Foundation fits our criteria of a worthy organization forour involvement. We are hopeful that our contribution will be thecatalyst for similar support to local healthcare at BUH.” He thenadded “All of us have had the occasion to use the services of BUH,from the birth of our children to surgical procedures andEmergency Room visits, to name but a few, and it is important thatfamily and loved ones have access to the newest, mosttechnologically advanced medical equipment and staff training thatis available.”

Robert and Sandra’s generous support for this year wasallocated, to purchase a Vein Viewer, a piece of equipment thatcan be used throughout the hospital. No one likes to have blooddrawn or an intravenous (IV) inserted. But when it’s necessary foryour healthcare, you want it done as quickly and painlessly as

possible. This pieceof equipment usesnear-infrared lightand other patentedtechnologies todetect subcutaneousblood and create adigital image of thepatient’s superficial vein pattern projected directly onto the surfaceof the skin in real time. When a patient’s health is compromised oneof the first procedures is to initiate intravenous access so that thepatient can receive life saving medication in a timely manner. Thiscan prove difficult in some situations and the Vein Viewer isclinically proven to reduce the number of attempts to start an IV by50% and also the time to start an IV by 50%. “We are so excitedthat we have been able to get this piece of equipment at BUH,”observed Chris Etcheverry, Nursing Manager at BUH’s EmergencyRoom, adding “It means that many nurses who approached startingan IV with trepidation will have much more confidence in completingthis procedure. It also means that we can give prompt medical carethat will help save lives … such a small machine with such a largeimpact. We are so grateful to the Stromberg’s for their generosityand kindness.”

Thank you to those who made donations from June 11, 2011 and January 13, 2012, in memory of:

The 15th annual Wayne Pruden Memorial Golf Tournament was avery successful fundraiser. As always, the North Battleford Golf &Country Club was an excellent showcase for the largest charity golftournament in northern Saskatchewan and the weather cooperatedas well, making for a fun and sunny day! This year the banquet washeld at the Western Development Museum and all the participantsand guests were very pleased with the venue. Every year Ed Lee,owner & manager of M&M Meats donates food for the banquet forabout 220 people, which includes steak, chicken, potatoes,vegetables and dessert. We are so grateful to Ed’s continuedgenerosity, and know that “Ed, we couldn’t do this Tournamentwithout you!” Proceeds raised from the 2011 Tournament were used to purchasea portable BladderScan for BUH’s Women’s Health & BirthingCentre (WHBC) patients. This piece of equipment basically is anultrasound that measures bladder volume, which aids in diagnosingurinary retention and post-operative urinary retention. The nursingstaff are able to assess and monitor urological concerns, preventingunnecessary catheterization, eliminating possible trauma andcatheter-associated urinary tract infections to patients.

Pictured above is Anita Moosomin, LPN on Womenʼs Health &Birthing Centre with the new BladderScan.

… sometimes the nicest people get what they deserve ... lots of CASH!!

The 17th annual $100,000 Cash Lottery was next on BUH Foundation’sevent calendar and was another successful fundraising experience! Thenew component added to the Lottery, the 50-50 Add-Ons proved verypopular and BUH Foundation raised over $60,000 with the winnersreceiving just over $31,000. It was a pleasure to announce the winnersas both were local, well known and well liked and it was well deserved!The lucky winner of the $100,000 cash prize was Nelson Heidt of North

McGifford, Fund Development Officer and Andrea Kohut, Office Assistant, BUH Foundation Office.

Anita Moosomin, a LPN on WHBC noted “This BladderScan is asmall piece of equipment that figures very largely in the care ofwomen after they have given birth. We are able to evaluate andassess their condition without an intrusive procedure, which meansa more rested, comfortable and healthy mom and newborn. Thankyou to everyone who helped fundraise for this piece of equipment.”

Battleford and the winners of the new 50-50 Add-Ons were Stanley &Darlene Iverson from Meota.Proceeds raised through the Lottery & 50-50 Add-Ons were allocated topurchase equipment for the Laboratory and Physical Therapy Unit. Thisequipment includes an innovative specimen processing unit whichincreases the capacity of processing complex lab slide studies. Over950,000 tests and procedures were done at BUH’s Laboratory last yearand this new equipment is vital to this busy, dedicated department.As well, funds were allocated to purchase a new Pulmonary FunctionSystem for the Respiratory Unit. This is a very welcome addition to theRespiratory Therapy Unit as it is technologically advanced equipmentand had only been available in Saskatoon or Edmonton. It also meansthat family, friends and loved ones do not have to travel to othermedical facilities to have their lung function diagnostic analysis testsdone.“We were so excited to hear that BUH Foundation was planning onallocating funds to purchase the Pulmonary Function System for theRespiratory Therapy Unit,” exclaimed Lynzie Rindero, RespiratoryTherapist at BUH, “It will mean that we will be able to give our patientseven better care than before. Thank you to everyone who participatedin this fundraiser. We are very grateful!”
