As we welcome the warmth of the season, let us reflect on how your generosity can make a significant impact on the lives of newborns and their families by supporting this year’s Breath of Spring campaign.

Your donation will support the purchase of an infant radiant warmer for the maternity ward at Kootenay Lake Hospital. This equipment uses gentle radiant heat to maintain the body temperature of newborns who require assistance after their birth. It is equipped with an overhead lamp to pre-warm the mattress and is especially helpful in providing soothing warmth for premature babies.

The infant radiant warmer has integrated controls, such as oxygen and suction, for clinicians to use when resuscitating babies. It also comes with a scale for the baby’s first weigh in.
