Thank You for Making Giving Tuesday 2024 Historic!
Together, we raised $505,000 to transform care for our tiniest patients at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Biggest Giving Tuesday Yet!
Each week, an average of six babies are admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at NRGH.
Thanks to you, our incredible supporters, we didn’t just meet our goal—we surpassed it! Your generosity enabled us to purchase six Giraffe Omnibed Legacy incubators, a specialized transport stretcher, and a fetal monitor for the NICU and Perinatal Unit. These critical pieces of equipment will help save lives and provide unparalleled care for premature and sick babies. This Giving Tuesday will be remembered as a milestone in Nanaimo’s journey of healthcare philanthropy.
How You’re Helping Our NICU Families
On Giving Tuesday, December 3rd, all our existing incubators were in use caring for fragile newborns, including twins born at just 30 weeks’ gestation. With the arrival of the new incubators expected in early 2025, our NICU will be equipped to provide life-saving care for more babies in need.
Your support has also enabled us to secure:
- Transport Stretcher: Ensuring safe transfers for our tiniest patients, reducing risks for medical staff.
- Fetal Monitor: Enhancing diagnostic confidence for expectant mothers and their babies in our Perinatal Unit.
Thank you for answering the call and making this incredible impact possible!
Thank you For helping to bring state-of-the-art incubators to the NICU at the NRGH.
It’s in Our Nature to Give
With the support of the community, we bridge the gap left from what government provides to ensure that patients receive optimal care with state-of-the-art equipment, and that our frontline medical teams have the supports they need to deliver the best healthcare possible.
