Once again the Cariboo Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Society has proved itself as the little engine that could.
Every year the auxiliary receives a wish list for patient care from Cariboo Memorial Hospital and long-term care staff and proceeds raised in the auxiliary-run hospital gift shop go toward purchasing some items on the list.
This year they have purchased three items, said auxiliary member Marg Bublitz.
The first item is a chest tube mannequin used for staff training that cost $3,342.
A sit-to-stand powered recliner for the oncology department, worth $10,063.00, is the second item.
Thirdly, the auxiliary put $20,000 toward the purchase of a fluent system machine for the obstetrics department.
On Tuesday, Nov. 26 the society is holding a bake sale in the front lobby of Cariboo Memorial Hospital that begins 9 a.m.
"We have cookies on a stick that are beautifully decorated," said Bublitz. "We usually do one a year. The staff in the hospital and Deni House support us and we usually earn over $1,000."
