Beneath The Surface – bringing Ultrasound to the Columbia Valley
CAMPAIGN COMPLETE – MARCH 31, 2025
Thank you to our incredible donors for all your support in bringing Ultrasound Service to the Invermere & District Hospital.
The East Kootenay Foundation for Health has a new campaign this winter. Beneath the Surface is fundraising $340,000 to bring ultrasound service to the Invermere and District Hospital. The costs will include a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine, renovations to the room, and all the technology and accessories required to run the service.
Having ultrasound at the Invermere hospital has been a long-awaited addition that will save Columbia Valley residents from travel to East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook for this service. It will be a major improvement for health care in the valley.
Ultrasound allows physicians to see inside a patient’s body and understand the nature of a patient’s symptoms. It provides vital information which can help guide treatment. Ultrasound technology is a critical cornerstone of medicine and patient care. The images captured provide physicians with a wealth of information, including the structure and composition of internal organs, tissues and vessels.
Ultrasound is performed on every type of patient, in every area of care. Whether you are a pregnant mother, an elderly person having breathing problems, or a child with abdomen pains, ultrasound can help diagnose and treat a patient.
Contributions to the Campaign can be made by donating online at ekfh.ca, calling 250-489-6481, or mailing a donation to East Kootenay Foundation for Health, 13 24th Ave N. Cranbrook BC, V1C 3H9.
Together we are bringing better health care close to home in the East Kootenay!
