Staff at the Kingaroy Hospital have thanked the Lions Club of Nanango for a generous donation to the Women’s and Children’s Unit.
The club donated a Masimo Monitor worth $3960.
The machine can be used to take the vital signs of newborns, infants, children and adults, but it will be put to use in the Women’s and Children’s Unit of the hospital.
“This new machine will be an addition to another similar piece of equipment we already have in use,” Nurse Unit Manager Stacey Smith said.
“The extra machine will be used to monitor oxygen saturation and heart rates on patients.”
Ms Smith said she was pleased that the Lions Club specifically chose to donate to the Women’s and Children’s Unit.
“We are a busy unit, so having another monitor in use will be of a great help to staff and patients,” she said.
Ms Smith thanked the Lions Club of Nanango for their support for Kingaroy Hospital.
