BRUCE COUNTY – Bruce County paramedic services would like to thank the Bervie Women’s Institute for their generous donation of 32 fidget muffs and quilts that will support Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.
These muffs and quilts will be available in Bruce County paramedic services ambulances to assist in patient care.
“At our 2019 paramedic training with the Alzheimer’s Society, it was identified that items like fidget muffs and quilts can help relax those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia,” said paramedic services deputy chief Ray Lux. “Bruce County paramedic services is very honoured that the Bervie Women’s Institute once again thought of us and our patients when creating these wonderful and helpful comfort items.”
In the past, the Women’s Institute has donated small blankets and teddy bears for pediatric patients served by Bruce County paramedic services.
County Warden Janice Jackson said, “I’m always amazed by the generosity in our community and the thoughtfulness and creativity of the Bervie Women’s Institute. Thank you so much for your generous donation that will help provide added comfort and calm for residents receiving care from our Bruce County paramedics.”
