NORWAY — Maine’s Oxford Casino has added another dimension of philanthropy in giving back to the Oxford Hills community. Oxford Casino General Manager Jack Sours presented Timothy A. Churchill, President and CEO of Stephens Memorial Hospital, with a donation of $10,000 to help support the 2012 Annual Fund.

The 2012 Annual Fund is dedicated to help fund the purchase of a new ultrasound imaging system. This new system replaces existing equipment and will allow staff to perform all general ultrasound imaging including pelvic, abdominal, obstetrical, renal and certain heart studies. In addition, it will have the capability to perform ultrasound-guided thyroid and breast biopsies and will be a valuable tool to physicians in diagnosing and treating patients of all ages.

Timothy A. Churchill shares, “Oxford Casino is living up to their word to create good jobs and give back to the community. Our annual investment in capital equipment and technology frequently exceeds one million dollars, and this year is no exception. We are pleased and grateful that the Oxford Casino supports our endeavor to provide state-of-the-art technology for our staff and the patients in our community.”

“At Oxford Casino, we are committed to our community. Stephens Memorial Hospital’s commitment to providing the very best medical care in our area is something that we applaud and are pleased to support,” said Jack Sours, general manager of Oxford Casino. “The acquisition of a new ultrasound imaging system reflects the hospital's dedication to providing the very best diagnostic tools for attending physicians and patients they serve.”
