What are donations used for?

Donations are used for the purchase of new medical equipment. Last year, donations helped to purchase six new defibrillators. This year, NWVAC's goal is to raise the $20,000 needed to purchase state-of-the-art machines that can read the level of carbon monoxide in a person's blood. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly if not detected.
