Proceeds from the event will fund a portable ultrasound unit to provide stroke screening.
In the past 14 years the generosity of the community has helped the auxiliary purchase nearly $130,000 worth of equipment for Langlade Hospital.
The first Parade of Homes in 1996 helped get the Hospice and Lifeline programs started. In the following years a laparoscopic camera for the surgery department was purchased, and an audio infant screen unit. Funds were given for cancer treatment equipment and then a four-year project to help equip the dialysis center. In 2006 it was an x-ray machine for the rural dental program.
Over the last two years, all proceeds from the home tour went towards the new radiation equipment.
