Equipment Needs
Your children were born here, a grandparent lives here and your friend’s life was saved here. We understand that often we forget the impact health care has on our lives unless we are at the center of a crisis.
Our Campbell River Hospital touches the lives of more than
people in our community and the North Island.
There are nearly
babies born in our hospital each year.
Each year, our hospital performs over
x-rays and
mammograms.
On average, there are more than
ultrasounds performed each day, that is more than
each year.
Our hospital has one of the most efficient ICU’s in the Province. In 2018 alone, our ICU had more than
ventilator hours.
Our Current Top Priorities
Hospital equipment is advancing rapidly with new technology making it easier to diagnose and treat diseases and disorders. The Campbell River Hospital Foundation is raising money to purchase the equipment our doctors have identified as most urgent. Some items are new and some are replacement items for old and outdated equipment. Every single piece of equipment on our wish list is vital to our hospital’s ability to offer you and those you love the very best treatment and care.

Philips Affinity x-5 probe
Echocardiography
Learn More
The Ultrasound transducer, also called a probe is a device that produces sound waves that bounce off body tissues and make echoes. The transducer receives the echoes and sends them to a computer that creates an image.
Used in echocardiography, the probe uses sound waves to create pictures or video of the inside of the heart. This type of test may be done to check the function of the heart muscle, check heart valves for leaking or narrowing and look for possible causes of stroke.
