Your generous gifts at work

CATSmart

The Stollery Children’s Hospital medical teams were delighted to learn that, once again, Stollery supporters responded with love and generosity.

Here’s some more information on the equipment donors like you made possible:

The CATSmart Continuous Autotransfusion System is like a blood recycling machine. It takes the blood a patient loses during surgery and “recycles” it for infusion back into the patient.

That means our little patients don’t have to rely on a blood transfusion or the availability of the right blood. They get their own blood back!

Like all pediatric equipment, this system was expensive, and we again relied on our community of supporters.
