Programs: Building repairs including updating the electric wiring in the activity room and adding additional outlets to prevent issues with the breakers. Installation of hand rail for the er entrance to ensure the safety of thepatients that use the facility.
the association purchased new electronic swing bed chairs to allow patients to lift their feet up or to stand. Turtle lake community hospital association paid for half of the 4 chairs and chi st alexius health-tl paid the remaining half.
the hospital front entrance was repaired. The entrance was pulling away from the building and had leaks and insulation problems. The hospital association worked on avariety of grants, held fundraisers, and sent out eddm to the residents of the surrounding area to raise money for this project. The front entrance is now handicap accessible and much more inviting. This allows handicapped patients to enter at the front of the building rather than the er entrance like years past. A total of $197,889 was spent on this project. It is included in fixed assets, rather than being expensed in 2016.
