Thanks to the John & Judy Bragg Healthcare Innovation Fund at DGH, we are piloting a wearables project to help track patients’ health while they wait to be seen in our Emergency Department. Members of our talented medical team successfully pitched the idea during our 4th annual Dragon’s Den-style contest. The technology has already helped identify four instances of previously undiagnosed afib (atrial fibrillation) in patients in our waiting room. Other successful innovations implemented at DGH thanks to the Bragg Healthcare Innovation Fund include Nova Scotia’s first drive-thru blood collection service and the province’s first AI-assisted unit for improved polyp detection during colonoscopies.

Congratulations to the Kin Club of Dartmouth on hosting their 100th community brunch this past weekend!
That's a lot of pancakes! 💖

Yesterday afternoon we came together to celebrate a huge milestone - the Dartmouth General Hospital's first MRI Machine!
This equipment installment has been years in the making and we are so very proud and grateful to have had so many incredible and dedicated community leaders and donors along for the journey - some of them for every step of the way!
The MRI is scheduled to start scanning patients in June, and will help tackle the provincial waiting list, with the capacity to scan more than 5,000 a year. 🙌
We did it, together! ❤️

Often behind the scenes, Biomedical Engineering Technologists, Technicians and Clinical Engineers work throughout the province to ensure Nova Scotia Health has access to the technology they need for patient care.
We'd like to thank the provinces 6 clinical engineers and equipment analysts and 87 biomedical engineering technologists and technicians for all of their hard work and support every single day! 💙💚

We were honoured to host some wonderful Killam Apartmentsteam members for a tour of DGH earlier this week! Thank you for all of your generous support and for making a positive difference in our community! ❤️

Look for us on CTV Morning Live Atlantic tomorrow morning! Steve Harding and Dr. Stewart will share details about this year's Annual Lobster Dinner and Auction event, and what the funds raised will be directed to at the DGH!
