June 8, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy Hospital’s Director of Nursing Liz Livingstone has a new “baby girl”, but before anyone gets too excited, Mallory Jane is just a doll … but a pretty important one at that.<\/p>\n

The doll was the prize in the Kingaroy Hospital Auxiliary’s recent “Name The Baby Girl” competition, part of an ongoing fundraising exercise by the Auxiliary members to buy a $46,000 ultrasound machine for use in the Kingaroy Hospital’s Emergency Department.<\/p>\n

Tickets in the raffle came with the opportunity to name the doll, and Liz selected “Mallory Jane”.<\/p>\n

Liz’s ticket was drawn out with some ceremony by Cr Danita Potter before a group of Auxiliary volunteers on Friday afternoon at the Hospital Canteen, which is also run by the Auxiliary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Town crier” Bill Steffensen announced the doll’s new name with some enthusiasm (did they really use condamine bells in mediaeval England?)<\/p>\n

Auxiliary president Sandra Beetham said the doll competition was just the latest fundraiser by the group, which was established to assist patients and staff at Kingaroy Hospital.<\/p>\n

At the moment, Kingaroy Hospital only has one portable ultrasound machine, which is shared between the Operating Theatre and the Emergency Department.<\/p>\n

“This creates waiting times for it when it has to be moved,” Auxiliary publicity officer Pamela Lincoln said,<\/p>\n

“You can imagine how traumatic it is for medical staff when it is needed in both locations at the same time.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Treasurer Peter Mortimer said so far $2999.74 had been raised for the ultrasound machine, but the Auxiliary had about another $27,000 from other resources which could be put towards the project.<\/p>\n

“It will probably take another two years to reach the target that we are looking at,” Peter said.<\/p>\n
