The Cancer Care unit at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre has benefited over the past 18 months from several donations by the Dauphin Regional health Foundation.
Cancer Care Regional Manager Kathy Ward goes over some of the recent contributions.
"Privacy screens for our patients, as well as heated, comfort chairs for their treatments. So our patients can enjoy some privacy when they come for treatment with the use of the screens. And the chairs themselves have a heating capacity that will allow them to be comfortable in the actual seats, when they are receiving their treatment."
A number of i-Pads have also been donated, which patients can use to stream videos while receiving their treatments.
The chairs and i-Pads were purchased last year, while the privacy screens were the most recent donation to the unit, at a cost of around ten-thousand dollars.
Total cost of all the contributions was around 30 grand.
