Lions Donate to Battlefords Union Hospital

The Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation was pleased to receive a $10,000 donation from North Battleford Lions Club in support of “We Want to…Catch it! Stop it! Treat it!” capital campaign to purchase a new mammography unit for BUH’s Medical Imaging Department.

As noted by Cheryl Mitchell, “Every year BUH’s Mammography Technologists complete over 2,000 mammograms.

A mammogram is considered the “gold standard” in early diagnosis of breast cancer, before symptoms are experienced – in both men and women – when it is most treatable. Our current unit is 10 years old and needs to be replaced. Medical diagnostic technology has really advanced and we need to ensure that our patients at BUH have access to the best diagnostics and care.”

One of the major fundraisers the NB Lions Club holds is their annual Guns & Collectables Show in September every year. This allows them to support various organizations within their community.
