The Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital in the Five Hills Health Region will soon be home to new equipment that offers superior treatment options to the resident of Moose Jaw and surrounding communities.  

Today, we announced our extended commitment of $750,000 over the next five years to the Moose Jaw Health Foundation to bring state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical equipment to the city of Moose Jaw.

"Our long-standing partnership with the Moose Jaw Health Foundation continues today with new funding to enhance local surgical and diagnostic imaging capabilities," shares Sarah Fedorchuk, Vice President Government and Public Affairs – North America with The Mosaic Company. "We are proud to support the Health Foundation's important work to deliver the best possible care to its patients, including hundreds of our Mosaic employees and their families that call Moose Jaw home.”

Each year, an average of 1,000 urological procedures are performed at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital. The new Mosaic-funded equipment includes the BK-series of ultrasound displays and transducers that offer live imaging and identification of masses and tumors, putting some of the most modern intra-operative image guidance tools available in the hands of local surgeons like Urologist, Dr. Chun Huang.

"The equipment provides a modern approach to healthcare. It allows doctors like me to ensure we can access superior treatment options close to home, dramatically increasing the quality of care. When using the new equipment, patients can expect a more comfortable experience, shorter recovery time, reduced risks and better treatment outcomes," says Dr. Huang.

The Moose Jaw Health Foundation expressed its gratitude for the continuation of our support, which spans over a decade. "No matter what the Foundation does, Mosaic is always there to support us with the shared goal of enhancing patient care," said Kelly McElree, Executive Director at Moose Jaw Health Foundation.

"Thanks to their investment, we can bring the best surgical and diagnostic imaging equipment in Canada to the people of Moose Jaw and surrounding areas, while also attracting and retaining top medical talent.”

We are proud to be the Health Foundation's largest annual donor. Our extended commitment adds to the over $1.6 million invested in healthcare in Moose Jaw to date.
