Fillmore Sun Risers Rotary President Joe Aguirre joined Santa Paula Rotary President Pamela Lindsay Monday presenting Mike Powers, Director, Ventura County Health Care Agency a check for over $11,000, a Rotary Humanitarian Grant. The presentation was made at the Santa Paula Rotary meeting at Logsdons Restaurant.
The grant provides funds for a Sonosite Ultrasound Linear Array Transducer for the Santa Paula Hospital Emergency room. This new equipment will provide improved diagnostic capabilities for the Emergency Room. Additional funds will be provided to the hospital to aid in funding health fair activities providing no-cost testing to local residents for many potential health issues such as diabetes and mammograms.
The grant was made possible by donations from the Fillmore Sun Risers and Santa Paul Rotarians in partnership their Rotary District 5240 and with Rotarians from sister Rotary Districts 4160, Mexico and District 3720, Korea. Our local Rotary District 5240 joins annually contributing with the Mexican and Korean Rotarians to jointly engage in projects in the three countries on a rotating basis. This year, Rotary District 5240 and the community of the Santa Clara Valley were the beneficiaries of this truly Rotary International effort.
