Each year, approximately 20 eligible low income families receive a car seat to take their #baby home. They are made for babies as small as 4lbs ensuring our tiniest of patients travel safely and securely. Funded by the Foundation at a cost of $260 each, this makes a big difference for families who would not otherwise be able to afford these special car seats.
Thank you to Marilyn Clark of Lloydminster, SK, for her generous donation of $3,000 in memory of her husband Gordon “Roy” Clark.

We were delighted to meet Marilyn and her extended family, two of whom, Mark (her nephew) and Leah (Mark’s wife), are RN’s at NRGH!
Thank you to the Lyle family for their generous donation of $225!
