Your Money at Work

Julie Gaulden, R.N. monitors patients with new Maternal Fetal Monitor. (2009)

The Maternal Fetal Monitor was purchased with funds donated by the Foundation's Annual Golf Tournament.

Ann Kaster, Chair of Fairchild Medical Center Foundation Golf Tournament and members of Fairchild Medical Center Foundation Board of Directors present Larry Mulloy, Chair of Fairchild Medical Center with a check for $20,000 from proceeds raised at the 14^th Annual Fairchild Medical Center Foundation Golf Tournament. A Maternal Fetal Monitor was purchased for the Obstetric Department at FMC. Centralized fetal monitoring allows caregivers to track contractions, baby’s heart rate and a mother’s well being from several locations throughout the Obstetrical Department, as well as from a physician’s office.

In 2005, the Foundation donated $26,500 to FMC for a Gamma Probe System for the Surgery Department.

The most powerful predictor of survival in women with breast cancer is the status of the axillary lymph nodes. Radioactive tracers indicate the most likely lymph nodes involved with the tumor, thus limiting the extent of axillary lymph node dissection and its attendant possible complications. The addition of this equipment enables us to perform this procedure at Fairchild Medical Center.

In 2006 the Foundation donated $40,000 for a BioZ ICG Diagnostic Imaging Machine.

The ICG test is a completely noninvasive test that can be performed to provide your physician information about your heart’ s ability to deliver blood to the rest of your body, and the amount of fluid in your chest. Because the ICG test is noninvasive, it can be performed anywhere in the hospital, making it a vital piece of equipment for patient care. This is all made possible by the generosity of people just like you.
