Over the last three Give a Little Life Day events over $1 million has been raised: $351,000 in 2021, $239,000 in 2022, and $464,360 in 2023.

In the past, funds raised during the Give a Little Life Day Radiothon have helped purchase equipment for the Hospital’s operating room, emergency room, ICU, and maternity ward.

Generous donations were presented throughout the day. (paNOW)

Barnett said the foundation will work with the healthcare professionals in each of the hospital’s units to determine priorities for equipment.

“There probably some going to every department in the hospital as the needs are far reaching,” he said.
