The money will be used to purchase equipment when the unit moves to its new home when the hospital project is complete.
The fundraising total was announced at an event at the Schaller Studio on Thursday evening.
Rotary committee chairperson Jan Walklate presented event sponsors with a certificate of appreciation.
Next year's Valentines' Day gala ball is planned for February 13.
