Updates on Funds Raised

The Healthcare Foundation recently gifted the hospital $90,365.23 for the purchase of five new Panda Warmers for the nursery. A note from the department:

We have had roughly 250 babies born since we received the new Panda Warmers.  We absolutely love them!  We have had several NICU babies that have stayed 10-12 days and the new Pandas have been such a blessing.


On behalf of the staff, we are so thankful to have these, and I know the parents love them as well.  Everyone especially loves the feature of the built-in scale; we can show the parents their baby’s weight at delivery.

Director of Perinatal Services
