A radiothon on VOCM in Grand Falls-Windsor helped make a huge dent in the fundraising goal towards the purchase of new equipment for the local hospital.
$95,136 was raised by local groups and individuals with all donations matched by NL Health Services.
The money will be used towards the purchase of specialized cardiac care equipment.
The South and Central Health Foundation fell short of their goal to raise $100,000, but executive director Wendy Houlihan expects they’ll reach that mark by the end of the month.
