The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) recently awarded 2011 Auxiliary Advocacy Recognition to the Thompson Guild. This recognition is given to auxiliaries who commit significant time and effort to serving as an advocate for their facility and community.
The Thompson Guild’s fundraising efforts support Thompson Health in numerous ways. A few of the Guild’s contributions in 2011 included pulse oximeters, a portable bladder ultrasound, wheelchairs, a transport stretcher, a Broda pedal rocker chair and a fiber-optic endoscope. They also supported the purchase of additional digital mammography equipment at Thompson Health.
The Thompson Guild’s gifts were made possible by events such as the Fall Fashion Show, Gigantic Garage Sale, Chairs for Charity, Tree of Lights and others.
