Third annual radiothon not missing a beat for the BUH
It’s official. The third annual On Air for Health Care radiothon will air once again this year on 1050 CJNB/CJNS, Q98, and 93.3 The Rock, raising money for much-needed equipment at the Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH).
BUH Foundation Executive Director Claudette McGuire and Nurse Manager Chris Etcheverry joined the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group’s morning shows today to announce this year’s 12-hour live broadcast will be held Friday, May 11 and will raise funds to purchase a new central cardiac telemetry system.
“It’s exciting to get things rolling for another radiothon,” McGuire said. “The Battlefords and surrounding area have been so generous over the first two years with their donations and we look forward to seeing their support again this year to help buy this crucial piece of equipment.”
As Etcheverry explained, the new cardiac telemetry system will increase the number of telemetry units at the BUH from eight to 12 and will allow patients increased freedom of movement.
