Hospital Foundation helps fight against colon cancer
June 21, 2006
A large donation from the Lillooet District Hospital Foundation is helping the Lillooet Hospital and Health Centre in the fight against colorectal cancer.
The foundation has given the hospital $27,900 to help pay for a colonoscope, a machine used for the early detection of colorectal cancer. About two-thirds of that money was donated to the foundation in memory of Brian Grossler. Kathy Grossler feels that Brian would be happy knowing there's a local screening process in place for colon cancer.
With the addition of the colonoscope, nearly the entire bowel can be screened for cancer here in Lillooet. The hospital already owns a gastroscope.
