WVU Medicine Barnesville Hospital received 10 state-of-the-art Stryker beds for its inpatient floor this fall.
The bed project started during a year-end campaign last December with individual, family, and business donations of $25-$2,500. These proceeds, along those from the Vegas in the Ville fundraiser proceeds and grants from The Foundation for a Better World and The Antero Foundation were used to purchase the new beds.
“As an Ohioan, I understand the vital impact that hospitals like WVU Medicine Barnesville Hospital have on rural communities,” Tom Claugus, Foundation for a Better World founder, said. “Our foundation is humbled to contribute to this project and improve the quality of patient care.”
“We are proud to contribute $15,000 to support the purchase of new beds that will enhance patient care and comfort at WVU Medicine Barnesville Hospital,” Kevin Ellis, director of the Antero Foundation and regional senior vice president of Antero Resources, said. “The Antero Foundation intentionally invests in areas that promote the health and well-being of the Appalachian communities where we live and work. This donation reflects our ongoing commitment to making our region a better place to raise
families and build healthier futures together.”
The ProCuity Stryker Beds feature low height to improve mobility, advanced fall prevention technologies, and more care-giver ergonomics. The beds employ the latest technology to prevent falls, wireless communication for nurse calls, and the ability to easily achieve optimum bed egress height and position for each patient.
“Without the gracious and kind support from The Foundation for a Better World, The Antero Foundation, and our rural community donors, we would not have been able to make this vital project happen,” Donna White, manager of grants and community development, said.
“Rural hospitals like ours serve a substantial section of the local population, and maintaining high standards of care is critical to provide accessible and high-quality healthcare services to our community. We are very grateful to both foundations, as well as all of the community donors, for making this possible.”
