The Equip to Care Radiothon continues to hit the airwaves as it aims to raise money for equipment needs at the Humboldt District Hospital.

The Radiothon is currently in its final day. After the first day, the total raised through donations was just over $6,725. The second day added another $14,026 to bring the total to over $20,000.

On April 10th, the third day, the Radiothon raised another $8,715 to bring the total to $29,466. However, this does not include a spin bike relay that took place at Anytime Fitness. Teams of four competed in a four-hour relay, also raising pledges in the months prior, which surely will see the day three total rise.

"We had a really great day on day three. It was a busy day since we had the spin bike relay to get ready for, so it was another busy day, but another successful day. We still have to add in the money from yesterdays event, so we will be looking through the pledge sheets and we will be able to update that number," said Executive Director of the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation, Lorrie Bunko.

Each day will feature a focus, where the HDHF will inform individuals regarding what specific supplies are needed, as well as different things happening within that department at the hospital. The focus for day one was on the launch, while day two touched on emergency and day surgery. Day three's focus was Mental Health and Addictions, and day four, the final day, will feature Cardiac Care.

"We offer many different types of cardiac services here. It starts right from emergency, through ultrasound with our echocardiograms and into inpatients. The number one need is Holter monitors. Anybody that's ever used one of those knows that there is a waiting list for that, so we need to increase our inventory. We would like to cut that waiting list down so people don't have to go to Saskatoon for something so simple."
