On March 26th, the Health Foundation received a generous gift from Margr\u00e9tar Le\u00f3sd\u00f3ttir's Memorial Fund, which was founded by Margr\u00e9tar's husband, J\u00f3hann heitinn J\u00fal\u00edusson, in memory of his wife. The fund has many times brought gifts to the organization and supported its employees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This time, Kristj\u00e1n G. J\u00f3hannsson, their son, Inga S. \u00d3lafsd\u00f3ttir, his wife and J\u00f3n\u00edna H\u00f6gnad\u00f3ttir, Margr\u00e9tar and J\u00f3hann's foster daughter, came and presented the HV inpatient wards with two very high-quality, air-operated CuroCell SAM hospital bed mattresses for the prevention of bedsores and two V\u00f6lker multi-purpose wheelchairs for patients. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Pressure ulcers are a complication of heavy bed rest. It can be difficult to prevent them and extremely difficult to heal the wounds. Good air mattresses, where constant air exchange occurs in a number of small chambers, are essential to protect against them to any avail. The inpatient staff are thrilled to have received the mattresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Patients often have difficulty with activities of daily living lying in bed, in wheelchairs, or with all kinds of bandages, cables and tubes on them. Good bicycle tables, which can be raised, lowered and tilted in various ways, come in handy. They facilitate personal hygiene, eating, reading, computer use, grooming and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Sigr\u00fan C. Halld\u00f3rsd\u00f3ttir, remote affairs director and deputy director, thanked for the gifts and invited those present to enjoy refreshments.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

On this occasion, Inga and Kristj\u00e1n J\u00f3n\u00edna H\u00f6gnad\u00f3ttir were presented with a bouquet of flowers for their exceptional dedication to the memorial fund, but she is in charge of the sale of memorial cards, which is the foundation of the fund's income.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the moment, 100 years have passed since the birth of J\u00f3hann J\u00faliusson. Presented by Kristj\u00e1n G. J\u00f3hannsson on the occasion of the publication of a book he has written about the lives of his parents and ancestors. The book is called ?Vertinn og kaupmannsd\u00f3ttirin? and is decorated with a number of funny pictures from their training and life's work.<\/span><\/p>\n
