Cheque out this video

STANTHORPE Hospital’s Cancer Support Group has welcomed a cheque for $10,000 to purchase hi-tech video equipment.
Member for Southern Downs Lawrence Springborg handed over the cheque on Saturday.
Support group spokeswoman Ann Barry said the mobile Telehealth equipment, which allowed patients to conduct appointments with specialists in Brisbane or Toowoomba via phone video connections, would be a great asset to the community.
“We have already seen the benefits of a stationery Telehealth sytem and having new mobile technology, where we can take the camera staright to the patient’s bedside will be of particular benefit to our eldery clients,” Ms Barry said.
“Having to travel with walking frames and wheelchairs can really take it out of them – especially for only a 10-minute appointment, so this equipment will help them focus on getting better.“
Mr Springborg also committed a $35,000 ultrasound machine, $7,500 care assist bed, $10,000 birthing stirrups and an $8,000 vein seeker to the Granite Belt hospital.
