THE Hamilton Base Hospital has been able to purchase a $68,000 ultrasound with the help of $12,000 donated from their 2022 Christmas Appeal, $500 from Hamilton North Primary School’s Year 6 students and $53,000 from the Western District Health Service (WDHS) Op Shop.

Over 80 years, the WDHS Op Shop has contributed over $1 million to the hospital and WDHS.
