DONOR SPOTLIGHT | Garry Kohn & the Hebrew Congregation of Lethbridge

Earlier this year Garry Kohn and the Hebrew Congregation of Lethbridge donated funds that went toward purchasing a OPMI Lumera Microscope for the CRH!

It is ued for several types of operations – including gray and green cataracts, and corneal and retinal operations.

 

The CRH Foundation maintains a distincitve art mural located in the atrium of the Chinook Hospital 
- this mural is a perpetual thank you to the community supporters who make our Hospital great.

Internationally acclaimed sculptor Alex von Svoboda created the initial design of the mural and today, members of the Old Man Potter's Guild continue to craft the legacy.
