The Ingersoll hospital is kicking off their biggest fundraising campaign in 20 years with a bang. At a fundraising bbq Thursday night in Ingersoll, Verspeeten Cartage made a $50,000 kick off donation toward the Healthcare Undergoing Optimization or HUGO campaign. Campaign Chair Dominic Ricciuto says this is a four year fundraising campaign. "HUGO is going to get implemented over time. So we're creating this as a campaign that will run now, until 2016 when HUGO is going to be fully implemented. So we're looking at donations and pledges that people or companies can give over 4-years. We're hoping to raise $1.1-million." Ricciuto says HUGO is the next level for computer entry for the hospital that will bring a lot of simplified processes to the hospital while improving patient care and safety. Ricciuto says HUGO will enable simplified work flow processes and will reduce the likelihood of medication error through improved medication administration with barcode scanning. President of Verspeeten Cartage, Ron Verspeeten says it was an easy decision to provide the kick off donation. "Ingersoll is our home base, and home to many of our employees, and we're just happy to give back to a community that's given us so much." If you would like to donate to the hugo program you can do so by calling Robin Schultz at 519-485-1700 ext. 8213 or email robin.schultz@ah.tvh.ca
