Fund-A-Need: Portable Cardiac Monitor
Goal: $20,000 See Goal Progress
Every dollar you give to the Portable Cardiac Monitor Fund will be matched up to $10,000, thanks to a generous matching gift donation.
Holden Village's remote wilderness location is one of its biggest draws. Yet, our location also makes providing emergency medical care to guests and staff challenging. Patients needing emergency care have to be evacuated from Holden via boat or helicopter which can take hours.
A portable cardiac monitor can monitor a cardiac rhythm and defibrillate if necessary. It can print out information that can be passed along to emergency providers for continuity of care. Also, this machine can monitor vital signs, which is helpful when transporting a patient in a helicopter with a lot of extra noise and motion and frees up the provider to do other important tasks for the patient.
In health emergencies, minutes and seconds can make a life-saving difference. By supporting the Portable Cardiac Monitor Fund, you provide a critical piece of medical equipment to Holden Village.
