Generous Gift for the NICU

By Thank You!

Thank you to Jesse’s Gift Foundation for their $7,330 donation! The funds were raised through a raffle for WestJet tickets and will be used to purchase a washer and dryer for the NICU at NRGH. Having their own W/D in their department is much more convenient and allows the paediatric staff to use detergents that are gentle on baby clothing.

Karen Langer Continues Her Support of the Paediatric Department

By Thank You!

Thank you to Karen Langer for the donation of care packages for children who are receiving treatment in Paediatrics at NRGH and for their parents, as well as a gift basket courtesy of Starbucks for the staff! With both her daughter and grandson having had heart surgery when they were young, Karen knows care packages can make a hospital stay during Christmas a little easier. Karen crochets the stockings herself, continuing a lovely family tradition started by her mother.
