Your unrestricted gifts to the HaysMed Foundation provide many opportunities for better healthcare and added convenience to western Kansans. Just a few of the many projects supported by these gifts are highlighted here.
Through Foundation funding, HaysMed continues to upgrade power outlets to include USB ports throughout the facility. The USB ports allow for convenient charging of electronic devices. The upgraded power outlets, in addition to free 3-in-1 charging cords, help patients and families stay connected.
HaysMed's annual Family and Friends CPR event is held each February. The course is identical to the AHA Heartsaver CPR course, but is offered for free to the community who do not require certification. This event is co-sponsored by your unrestricted gifts to the HaysMed Foundation. Additionally, new patients in the Women's Center received Infant CPR Anytime kits because of your generosity.
Unrestricted gifts also provided funding to the KidsQuest summer program offered through The Center for Health Improvement. KidsQuest incentivizes preteens to exercise throughout the summer months and receive rewards and prizes.
A grant to the HaysMed Continuing Care Department provides support families through Comfort Care Baskets. These baskets provide a convenient means of nutrition and energy to family members when they cannot leave their loved one's bedside.
Unrestricted gifts supported the purchase of CinemaVision, a 3D virtual reality system that transforms the patient MRI experience by minimizing stress or the need for sedation. Patients enjoy multiple entertainment options from standard video, television, or music while still allowing two- way communication with the technologist.
These are just a few of the ways your gifts impact our medical center. Every gift makes a difference to the patients at HaysMed. Thank you for your support!
