thanks to Northern Lights Shrine Club
by Cassie Kushniruk
A new piece of medical equipment for
children has made its way to the Edson
Healthcare Centre courtesy of the Northern
Lights Shrine Club.

presented a check for $8000 to the Edson
Healthcare Centre to purchase a transcutaneous
bilirubinometer - a tool that assesses the risk of
jaundice in babies.
The tool works by scanning a baby's forehead
to read the bilirubin content, says AHS Site
Manager Tracy Correia.
The Northern Lights Shrine Club, which are
made up of Edson, Drayton Valley, and a few
members from Hinton, decided to spend some
of the money raised through their toll gate
events on hospital funding for children. “Any
