The Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation is excited to announce our Inaugural Fundraising Gala, themed “Black and Pink”. The evening will feature a beautiful and delicious meal from renowned chef and restaurateur Merlyn Baker. Then prepare to be amazed and inspired by Guy Bavli, Master of the Mind! Guy is a mentalist/psychic entertainer that will change the way you think about illusions and the human mind!
All proceeds of the Black and Pink Gala will go towards the purchase of one of two new 3D Mammography machines for the Grande Ronde Hospital Radiology Department and Women’s Clinic. This new technology is vitally important for the early detection, treatment, and proper diagnosis of anomalies in the breast tissue. Using higher resolution digital imaging, as well as cross section evaluation, this technology allows for higher location accuracy, reduce return scans, and more accurate early diagnosis.
