Our Goals

2006 – 2 Giraffe Incubators

2005 – 3 Incubators for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Individual incubators are used for each baby in the NICU. For the NICU to operate at peak functionality, approximately 18-20 incubators are needed. Every year several incubators are 'retired' and new incubators are needed. This 'retirement plan' ensures that the highest quality of care for the newborns can be given at all times.

2004 – 2 cystoscopes that are used to remove blockages of the urinary passage in newborn male infants, 1 pediatric bronchoscope that is to be used by anesthesia to place breathing tubes in the wind pipe at the start of surgery, and 1 Endoscope.

2003 – 1 infant warmer for the medical center?s NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Overhead infant warmer beds are used for patients in the NICU when ease of access is important (e.g.: admission, procedures, and clinical instability).

2002 – 8 full recline wheelchairs for use on all three patient floors, 2 tilt and recline chairs for use on the 6th floor, 4 HP Monitors for use in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, 6 testing instruments for the ?Birth to Three? program.

2001 - 2 Incubators for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Individual incubators are used for each baby in the NICU. For the NICU to operate at peak functionality, approximately 18-20 incubators are needed. Every year 2 incubators are 'retired' and 2 new incubators are needed. This 'retirement plan' ensures that the highest quality of care for the newborns can be given at all times.

2000 - Virdia Monitoring System. These are flat screen Hewlett Packard monitors for the Delivery Room. They are used to monitor the newborn's respiration, heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation at birth during the resuscitation period.

1999 - 30 wheelchairs for the medical center and a Bili Blanket for our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The Bili Blanket is used for babies with jaundice. The baby lies on the blanket and it provides phototherapy.

1998 - Neonatal Broncoscopy Unit. This is used to allow doctors to view small babies' respiratory system in real time. It is also key when performing respiratory laser surgery.

1997 - Hewlett Packard Monitor Interface System for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit as well as three other medical surgical units. This system links caregivers, through the use of beepers, to every patient room so that they are constantly aware of their patient's vital signs.

1996 - Mobile Intensive Care Unit. This unit provides a controlled environment to transport premature babies to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It can be used to transfer babies from the delivery room to the NICU and it can be carried in an ambulance, or helicopter, to bring in babies from outside of our building.
