Campbell River – Gowlland Towing Ltd. recently donated to the Hospital Foundation to support the purchase of a Pedia Poser for the medical imaging department in Campbell River Hospital.
This Pedia Poser provides fast, gentle and secure immobilization of infants through 4 years old for X-ray imaging. Because it looks very much like a high chair, it is familiar and less scary for the little one. The patient is positioned and secured once and medical staff are able to rotate the chair in order get all of the necessary views.
“Prior to having the Pedia Poser, parents would hold their child in position, the parent would often be stressed, increasing the little ones stress level,” says Stacey Marsh, Executive Director, CRHF. “The Pedia Poser helps to lower that stress level, making the entire process faster and with far fewer subsequent appointments due to local quality images. Used daily, the medical imaging staff love this piece of equipment. A heartfelt thank you Gowlland Towing Ltd.”
