ROSEBUD Hospital will soon receive a new tilt table, thanks to a generous donation from the McCrae Lions Club.
Valued at over $8000, the tilt table is a specialised examination table that gradually moves patients from a horizontal to an almost standing position, safely secured with straps.
The equipment is primarily used to diagnose causes of fainting or light-headedness by monitoring changes in blood pressure and heart rate as patients are raised to a standing position.
Lions Club president Salvatore Giambruno said the donation reflected the club’s ongoing commitment to supporting local community health initiatives.
“Rosebud Hospital is a key hub for community services,” he said.
“When Peninsula Health told us there was a need for a tilt table to support rehabilitation therapy, allowing residents of Rosebud and surrounding areas to avoid travelling far, we responded without hesitation.
“With the substantial contribution of our Australian Lions Foundation, we were able to reach the required funding and make this donation a reality.”
The tilt table will soon be installed at the hospital.
The McCrae Lions Club has a proud history of fundraising for local causes, with the Rosebud Hospital saying, “their support for Peninsula Health continues to be warmly appreciated”.
