Using funds from the Bequest of Mrs. Ina Mae Durst, the Foundation has been able to support the purchase of a Scope Buddy, as well as a new LED Light Source for the Operating Room at our hospital. We are very grateful to Mrs. Durst for having thought ahead to leave such a wonderful gift in her Will, which will benefit the health and well-being of the members of our community and assist hospital staff in their jobs.
The Scope Buddy’s purpose is to automatically flush out endoscopes. Using this equipment reduces the risk of repetitive motion injuries from manually syringing channels on the scope and provides constant fluid delivery through all endoscope channels. Having this equipment also allows the hospital staff to provide Best Practices to our patients.

We are truly grateful for your assistance in ensuring that we have the equipment and infrastructure that we need for our hospital! Thank you for thinking ahead and planning your gift for the future.
