Portable Ultrasound Machine

A portable ultrasound machine which will be used in the Viking Health Centre’s emergency room was purchased with donations from area Hutterite Colonies including Viking, Iron Creek, Vegreville, Holt, and Holden. Grant money received from the Community Spirit grant was also used for the purchase. In the picture above the doctors and staff stand around the new machine.

In addition, bedside, overbed tables, and visitor chairs for all patient rooms at the Viking Hospital were purchased with Community Spirit grant dollars and memorial donations.
