Stromberg family gives $1M for heart care at Battlefords Union Hospital

The Stromberg family has donated $1 million to support heart care at Battlefords Union Hospital in North Battleford and health-care education.

The gift to the Battlefords Healthcare Foundation supports a hospital-wide cardiac monitoring and telemetry system. 

The foundation said the system helps health-care teams monitor patients’ heart activity and respond to changes in their condition.

“For someone receiving care, a heart monitor represents more than a piece of equipment. It means someone is watching closely, with information that helps guide their care,” said Leanne Ducommun, the foundation’s executive director.
