The new equipment can be used in all areas of the hospital. 

After raising over 1.9 million dollars in 2017 for The Illawarra Community Foundation, the i98FM Illawarra Convoy is funding the purchase of a new ultrasound system, valued at $26,508 for Shellharbour Hospital.

This is the second piece of equipment the Illawarra Community Foundation has donated to Shellharbour Hospital, after the hospital received a brand new portable bladder scanner in 2017.

Convoy has previously raised funds for another bladder scanner for Port Kembla Hospital, and a $250,000 donation to Wollongong Hospital Children’s Ward to kick-start stage one of their redevelopment project last year.
 
“We are proud to support our local hospitals with funds raised during Convoy. Providing support to our local hospitals assists the medical staff to provide better care for people within our local community, many of which may also donate to Convoy.

“The Illawarra Community Foundation is proud to ensure that funds raised in the area, stay in the area,” says Illawarra Community Foundation & i98FM Illawarra Convoy Manager, Mark Rigby.
