Machias – At Down East Community Hospital in Machias, staff and patients alike are thankful for the new blanket warmer that was purchased with funds donated by the DECH Auxiliary.
The DECH Auxiliary donated over $7,000 to purchase a 2-tier blanket warmer for the Emergency Department. The Auxiliary chose the Emergency Department for their quarterly department donation of $1,000 but when they found out the ED needed a blanket warmer an Auxilian, who wishes to remain anonymous, stepped in and donated the additional funds needed for the purchase. ED Manager, Tiffany Snider, “I was stunned at the generosity and am so very happy the ED now has a new blanket warmer that will help fulfill the comfort and therapeutic needs of our patients.”
CEO Steve Lail, “The Auxiliary has done so much for the hospital for so many years, and this is another fine example of their heart felt dedication and generosity. We are forever thankful for all they do.”
