The equipment we're raising money for this year could save your life or the life of a loved one.

The 18th Annual 800 CHAB Family First Radiothon in support of the Moose Jaw Health Foundation is coming up May 2nd and 3rd, live on the radio and live from the Town 'n Country Mall.

We'll be asking you for your support in our quest to raise $140,000 to purchase new equipment for cardiac care at the Dr. FH Wigmore Regional Hospital in Moose Jaw.

Every year, our health care professionals assist over 2900 patients experiencing cardiac issues at our hospital. On average, that's three or four people every day.

Dr. Chelsea Beaton is one of those professionals standing by to assist in our emergency department.

We spoke to her about her life in emergency medicine and the state-of-the-art equipment we'll be able to purchase with your support at this year's radiothon.

Have a listen and please, consider making a donation this year.
