ABBOTSFORD — One of the biggest RV dealerships in the Fraser Valley has made a substantial donation to the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation that will fund critical equipment at two area hospitals.

The FVHCF says Fraserway RV in Abbotsford has generously allocated $88,345 for the purchase of a portable ultrasound at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and a general centrifuge at the Mission Memorial Hospital lab. The ultrasound equipment is valued at $68,345.

“This state-of-the-art equipment will help thousands of patients-in-care,” the health care foundation wrote in a news release dated Thursday, March 7. “For years, Fraserway RV has provided our local community with generous financial gifts.”

Some of these gifts include an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation machine and colonoscope for Mission Memorial Hospital; cardiac transport machine for Fraser Canyon Hospital; and radiographic fluoroscopy for Chilliwack General Hospital.

“Their dedication to community needs, particularly in our hospital spaces is transformational and we could not be more grateful,” the foundation said. “Thanks to their philanthropic contribution, our local hospitals can provide the best possible health care to our patients and illuminate a path towards a healthier and brighter future.”
