BHS Audiology Department and the Ballarat community is very grateful for the donation of their new Zodiac Middle Ear Analyser. This purchase was made possible by the Oliver Family Foundation, replacing an old piece of equipment that was no longer operational. The middle ear analyser is also known as a tympanometer which is used on every patient, of all ages, seen by the Audiology Department. It quickly and painlessly provides vital information about the eardrum and the middle ear itself, determining hearing loss, if any, experienced by the patient.
BHS Audiologists are thrilled to have access to this equipment which will assist medical practitioners decide on how to treat middle ear fluid, ear infections and hearing loss.
The fundraising team at Ballarat Health Services supports fundraising and partnership activity that will enable BHS’ delivery of excellent care close to home. Fundraising income is used to provide equipment, programs and services in priority areas where it is not reasonably expected to be funded by the government in the near future.
Ballarat Health Services Foundation Ltd is a community managed company dedicated to raising, managing and distributing funds, which advance the facilities and programs at Ballarat Health Services.
Both Ballarat Health Services and Ballarat Health Services Foundation Ltd welcome donations particularly at the end of financial year, donations of $2 and over are tax deductible.
The kindness within the Ballarat community continues after Deb Parkinson, a BHS staff member who works in the Maternity Unit reached out to a local charity to request their financial assistance to purchase a new breast pump.
We were thrilled when Kylie Garrett from Kombi for a Cause reached out to us with a donation of Supertees for young patients in the Cotton On Foundation Children’s ward.
Simone Noelker, BRICC Wellness Centre Coordinator was thrilled to recently accept a cheque from the Ballarat Health Services Social Club.
