“The Foundation at our hospital has made a meaningful difference on our Women’s unit by helping us provide thoughtful touches that we otherwise wouldn’t have funding for. Because of their support, we’ve been able to offer holiday-themed hats, books for moms and babies at discharge, and most recently, beautiful wooden birth announcement plaques to welcome each new arrival. These items may seem small, but they create lasting memories for our families during an incredibly special time. We are deeply grateful for the Foundation’s commitment to enhancing the experience of our moms and babies.”
