Recently, the Health Services Foundation on the South Shore raised tens of thousands of dollars to help purchase a new piece of medical equipment for the South Shore Regional Hospital. The province's health minister is applauding the campaign and others across the region which Leo Glavine says is becoming the "norm".
Glavine says the South Shore's annual funding drive and others across the province won't be touched during reform of the health care system.
The Valentine's Day Gift For The Heart Radiothon raised more than 103-thousand dollars for a new portable X-ray unit at the South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater.
