Thanks to your generosity, Eagle Ridge Hospital’s Respiratory Therapy Department now has access to a life-changing device: the Stellar 150.
This machine is helping patients breathe easier, both in the hospital and at home, when they need it most.
COVID caused severe supply chain delays for Home BiPAP machines, leaving many patients waiting months or even years for the equipment they need to breathe safely at home.
One of the hospital patients with Myotonic Dystrophy (a muscle disorder) got sicker and needed a special breathing machine to help them sleep at night. Without the Stellar 150, they would have had to stay in a critical care bed indefinitely, taking up resources needed for unstable patients.
Now, thanks to the purchase of this device, patients can transition to lower acuity units, receive personalized training from our Respiratory Therapists, and return home to sleep comfortably with their families.
This not only improves their quality of life but also ensures critical care beds remain available for those in urgent need.
Your continued support can help us provide more essential devices like the Stellar 150 to bridge the gap for patients waiting for their own equipment. Together, we can make sure that every patient has access to the life-saving respiratory care they need.
Thank you again for making such an extraordinary impact on our patients and their families.
