A generous donation of $100,000 from the Kinsmen Foundation is helping Royal University Hospital provide a leading-edge alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for patients with life-threatening conditions affecting the mitral valve’s ability to pump blood through the body.
“Our Board is thrilled to be able to assist in funding this new cardiac equipment for RUH and for the patients who will benefit by having it here in Saskatchewan,” says Raelynn Nicholson, Chair of the Kinsmen Foundation. “As a registered nurse, I fully recognize minimally invasive surgery’s value to patients and the health-care system.”
The ability to perform minimally invasive heart procedures in Saskatchewan spares patients the hardship of travelling out of the province to receive life-saving surgery.
Royal University Hospital Foundation is very grateful for the ongoing support from the Kinsmen Foundation in advancing patient care excellence and innovation at RUH. Together, at RUH, we are helping to save even more lives of patients requiring the most complex cardiac care in our province.
Thank you Kinsmen Foundation!
