When you support the QEH Big Day of Giving, you’re helping Islanders get the care they need close to home. Essential equipment, like the Ortho C-Arm, is only made possible with the support of our community.
“The Ortho C-Arm is an essential tool in fracture care. Nearly every broken bone that requires surgical repair depends on this imaging technology. It gives us real-time feedback during procedures, ensuring we position fractures correctly and place surgical tools with precision. Whether it’s a child with a broken elbow, an adult recovering from an ankle injury, or a senior healing from a hip fracture, this machine is critical in getting people back on their feet, back to work, and back to the activities they love.”
