Board of Directors Approved 2012/2013 Capital Budget

The Annual Capital Budget planning process commenced four months ago.  At that time, managers consulted with their staff regarding departmental equipment and renovation needs.  Quotes and estimates were obtained and all items were prioritized.  The Board has subsequently reviewed the extensive list and has granted final approval as follows:

• Equipment $317,800
• Renovation project $682,700

100% of the funds to pay for the million-dollar budget comes from the Hospital’s reserves and donations.

Some significant equipment purchase will be a transfer incubator in the obstetrical unit, two more ceiling lifts in the Acute Care unit, an Arjo chair in the Long-Term Care residence, immunoassay analyzer in the Laboratory and computerized exercise equipment for a new cardiac rehabilitation service.

The main renovation project will be replacing the air conditioning system in the Long-Term Care residence.

The full list of equipment and renovation projects in the Capital Budget can be found on the Hospital’s website at www.geraldtondh.com.  If you do not have access to a computer, please contact Diane Kampela at (807) 854-1862 ext. 102 and she will gladly mail you a copy.
