The hospital staff members are using vital signs monitors donated by the corrections workers to Victoria Hospital.

The $15,800 used to buy the equipment was raised during the Saskatchewan Corrections Charity Bike ride last June.

Planning for this year’s rides are already underway. The three rides in Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Regina will combine their fundraising efforts to raise money for the Children’s Hospital Foundation.
