RELEASE Two new colonoscopes arrive at BGH
Brockville General Hospital has received two new colonoscopes, thanks to the Screen for the Cure Golf Tournament held at the Brockville Country Club in July. The organizing committee gathered recently to celebrate the arrival of the new equipment, which is used for colonoscopies performed by general surgeons at the hospital. A colonoscope is a long, flexible viewing tube used to inspect the colon and rectum for abnormalities, which can lead to the diagnosis of colon cancer. The Screen for the Cure Tournament raised approximately $35,000. In front, from left, are: Committee member Jack Butt; BGH Central Service Supervisor Michelle Myatt; committee members Sharon Clarke, Heather Brown and Doris Hallett; and Pentax Canada Eastern Ontario Territory Manager Rory Walker. In back are committee members Keith Fraser, Russ Gaskin, Ron Healy; General Surgeon Dr. William Redmond with one of the new colonoscopes; BGH President and CEO Ray Marshall; committee chair Don Moore; and committee members Adrian Geraghty, Bob Pearce and Bob Castle. Next year’s Screen for the Cure Golf Tournament will be held June 18, 2010 at the Brockville Country Club. Photo: Christine Endicott/BGH For more information, please contact:
