Enbridge has donated $10,000 to the Arcola Hospital through Enbridge’s Working with Community Safety program.

                Manager of the Arcola Hospital, Marnell Wyatt, submitted a proposal to Enbridge explaining what services the hospital provides and how the money would be used.

                “We provide services to Enbridge employees, their spouses, their children, and so many others in the community,” Wyatt said. “We are the hospital for Carlyle, Stoughton, Kisbey, and area.”

                The donation will be put towards purchasing a new Cardiac Monitor Machine. “It’s a newer, improved monitor/defibrillator,” Wyatt explained. “The new machines have the capacity to monitor more life support functions. We use it for not only cardiac patients, but for respiratory patients and motor vehicle accident patients as well.”

                This purchase, which they are still raising funds for, will benefit not only the people of the area but also will allow the local health care workers utilizing the new piece of equipment to more easily work with STARS.

                “They come here with some amazing technology, so a newer model will enhance our own ability to mesh with STARS coming here for a transport,” Wyatt stated.

                The total cost of the new machine is $18,000, so the hospital was very excited to receive Enbridge’s donation. They are currently awaiting a request to Sun Country for funds as well, while they are working on further donations in order to raise enough money for the purchase.
