Small Gifts. Big Impact. 💚

At first glance, they may look like ordinary pieces of equipment — a curved headrest or a monitor with a camera blade.

But inside the operating rooms at Lions Gate Hospital, they make a big difference.

A Mayfield Headrest helps keep patients perfectly still during delicate neurosurgery, while a GlideScope helps anesthesiology teams place breathing tubes more safely.

These important tools are made possible through the generosity of The Auxiliary to the Lions Gate Hospital.

Every purchase made at the Dogwood Shop and the Thrift Shop, every volunteer hour, every act of kindness helps bring vital equipment to the people who need it most.

Because sometimes the smallest gifts make the biggest impact. 💚
