It’s more than just a donation when Hitachi Emerald partners with the Humpty Dumpty Foundation – it’s giving back to the broader community that supports them.
The Emerald business has partnered with the children’s charity since 2012, purchasing more than $45,000 worth of equipment for Central Queensland Hospitals.
Its latest donation provided a pulse oximeter ($2180) and breast pump ($3470) for the Emerald Hospital.
