RadioDay 2024
A Day of Giving to Health Care in Cape Breton
The Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation’s largest fundraising initiative of the year is back! The 17th annual Radio Day, presented in partnership by Hot 101.9 and New Country 103.5, will take place on Thursday, October 10, 2024, from 6am-6pm.
Over the past 17 years, with the help of our incredible community, Radio Day has raised more than $11 MILLION for health care in Cape Breton.
This year, our Foundation is asking for our community’s support in purchasing four portable ultrasound machines for the Cape Breton Regional Hospital (CBRH). Medical experts estimate that these new machines will impact more than 6,000 patients annually.
Eliminating Barriers to Health Care
From trauma patients arriving to the emergency room, intensive care patients needing life-saving medications, to cardiac patients presenting with unidentified heart complications, and more, portable ultrasound machines allow health care experts to make faster decisions and to provide more precise treatments.
Essentially, these machines provide time in situations where every second matters.
While the CBRH has a dedicated ultrasound department, portable ultrasounds are needed for unscheduled point-of-care imaging. Currently, the CBRH only has two older models of this machine and requires more to meet the demand of our hospital and its patients.
By supporting Radio Day 2024, you can directly and positively impact thousands of patients in our community, including our friends, families, and neighbours, when they need it most.
