This Giving Tuesday, we're asking generous supporters like you to help us raise $30,000 for a Telehealth Station in the mental health unit at the new Misericordia Emergency Department. When you donate today, you'll help bring remote family members and medical specialists where they're needed most - together, at the bedside of Emergency patients.
Patients experiencing a mental health emergency need our help now more than ever.
Telehealth technology can help bring supports such as a patient's far-away loved one, their local family doctor or a trusted therapist onscreen to provide extra help and comfort alongside the Misericordia's emergency mental health staff. With telehealth videoconferencing, emergency staff can also connect patients with service providers in the community for much-needed ongoing support and follow-up. This could include addictions treatment services, follow-up with the crisis stabilization team or referrals to community psychiatry. Together we can make all the difference for patients when they need it most. Your donation - big or small - will add up with donations from other generous supporters today. Please donate now to help us reach our $30,000 goal.
This Giving Tuesday, we're giving thanks to you!
Thank you for helping to ensure Covenant's health teams have what they need to provide the best care possible for all of us in the moments when we need them most.
*Excess funds beyond $30,000 will go towards a second Telehealth Station, followed by the areas of greatest need at the Misericordia Emergency Department such as specialized equipment and training, comforting spaces and family centred care.
