THANKS to the Gritman
Auxiliary’s annual Holiday Delights
fundraiser, Gritman Medical Center
is $20,000 closer to an additional
ultrasound machine.
Holiday Delights raises money to
support the needs of Gritman Medi-
cal Center, including scholarships
and equipment. Most of the 2014
proceeds went toward the purchase
of an ultrasound machine for the
Gritman Radiol-
ogy Department.
is new machine
will improve im-
age quality and
resolution and
costs approximately
$130,000.

new ultrasound
auction items from
many generous
individuals and
businesses. New
for 2014, Holiday
Delights featured
a live auction with
an assortment of
enticing packages,
including a wine

“ e purchase
of the new ultra-
sound machine
will allow us to
move one machine
to the Women’s
Imaging Center,”
said Scott Nelson,
Gritman Director of Radiology. “A
machine at the Women’s Imaging
Center translates to shorter wait
times for patients and an enhanced
overall patient experience for the
best possible care.”
e Gritman Medical Center
Auxiliary hosts Holiday Delights,
and the formal event marks the be-
ginning of the holiday season.
A new ultrasound machine
means patients will have
shorter wait times and a
better overall experience
when they need
imaging tests.
Making a bid: At the Holiday Delights
fundraiser in 2014, attendees bid on silent
auction items and later had a chance to take
part in a live auction as well—both featuring
items provided by people and businesses in
our community.
