Throughout the year, Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation raises funds to support the programs and services Mile Bluff provides to the community. The foundation gives individuals and businesses the opportunity to take an active role in impacting healthcare locally. The funds raised are put toward community events, scholarship programs and equipment purchases.
As a not-for-profit organization, the foundation wants to be transparent with donors about how funds are used. Below you will find the organization's annual reports as well as a list of our approved equipment purchases for the coming year.
Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation is grateful for the support of donors and the community!
Annual Reports:
Awarded to: Delton Family Medical Center
This procedure table keeps patients comfortable as clinical staff perform procedures in the clinic setting.
Awarded to: Rehabilitation Department
Traction can be a vital part of the rehab process for patients with certain neck and back diagnoses. A traction table allows therapists to provide cervical and lumbar traction to patients to treat and relieve neck and back pain.
Awarded to: Necedah Family Medical Center
This chair will increase patient comfort and provide better ergonomics for staff as blood samples are collected.
Awarded to: Mile Bluff Clinic
These exam tables keep patients comfortable, while allowing clinic staff to provide safe and efficient care.
Awarded to: Elroy Family Medical Center
A tympanometer is used to measure the health of a patient's eardrum. It measures the function and movement of the eardrum and the middle ear. This will allow the medical staff to do early assessments of ear health onsite, decreasing the need for patients to travel.
Awarded to: Fair View Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
With a projector and retractable screen, a theater room will be created for nursing home residents.
Awarded to: Speech Department
The Tumble Forms Feeder Seat will be used to position infants when they are having a Modified Barium Swallow Study. Previously, this service would need to be referred to a different facility, but the new equipment allows the speech team to provide these studies in Mauston.
Awarded Department: Education Department
These training bones are used to simulate use of intraosseous access for emergency patient care. Intraosseous access training is a part of Mile Bluff's Advanced Cardiovascular Life Saving (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (PALS) courses.
Please note: Every year, Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation purchases around $70,000 in equipment for the medical center. In 2022, several remodeling projects are taking place throughout the organization and the foundation has chosen to set aside funds to support the remodeling of the Birth Center, Cancer Care, and Medical Imaging departments that would have otherwise been used to purchase equipment.
