ELMIRA — Arnot Health recently received several grants to use toward purchasing a new evaluation and treatment kit and a new portable ultrasound system for its emergency department.
A grant from the Douglas G. Anderson-Leigh R. Evans Foundation, Inc., which is sponsored by the Elmira manufacturer Hardinge Inc.

Two other grants totaled $22,000 for the ultrasound system. The Anderson Foundation provided $12,000, while the Hilliard Foundation awarded $10,000 for the equipment.
