A generous contribution from the Abbotsford Auxiliary will significantly enhance emergency care at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH), providing vital tools for treating patients in traumatic or critical conditions. The $74,000 donation, finalized on November 1, 2025, secured a specialized hypothermia/hyperthermia blanket system and a rapid infuser pump – both considered essential for rapid response and patient stabilization.
Auxiliary Support Elevates Patient Care
The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation lauded the donation, emphasizing its impact on immediate patient care. “These items are game-changers in time-critical situations,” a senior official stated. “The generosity of the Abbotsford Auxiliary ensures that medical teams have the best tools to achieve optimal patient outcomes.”
New Equipment to Improve Trauma Response
The newly acquired equipment addresses critical needs in emergency medicine. A rapid infuser pump is designed to quickly deliver large volumes of intravenous fluids and blood to patients experiencing severe trauma. This rapid delivery can be life-saving in cases of significant blood loss or shock.
Alongside the pump, the hospital now possesses a specialized hypothermia/hyperthermia blanket system. This technology allows medical staff to precisely regulate a patient’s body temperature, a crucial component of stabilizing individuals in critical condition. Maintaining optimal temperature can significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
The investment underscores the vital role of community support in bolstering healthcare infrastructure. The Abbotsford Auxiliary’s dedication to ARH will undoubtedly contribute to improved care for patients facing life-threatening emergencies.
