Recent GiftsPortable Fetal Monitors
This $30,000 gift monitors both the unborn baby’s heartbeat and the mother’s contractions, allowing the mother to move about freely during labor. Studies show that mothers who stay mobile longer have lower C-section rates and better outcomes for both her and baby. Beauty Bus Program Our $20,000 gift strengthens an already successful program that has been a success for patients and caregivers. Beauty Bus delivers loving kindness, support and compassion to seriously ill patients and their caregivers through beauty services. Beauty Bus delivers hope, dignity and respite to patients through the gift of beauty. Accuvein AV500 Viewing System This $14,000 gift provides systems that digitally display a viual map of the vasculature on the surface of the skin in real time, allowing clinicians to verify vein latency and avoid valves or bifurcations. Weighted Gurneys for the Stroke Program Our $9,000 gift converted gurneys purchased by Saint John's to weighted gurneys. These specialized gurneys accurately weigh and gently transfer stroke patients which has an overall effect on the length of stay, complications and outcomes. PEACE Program PEACE stands for Providence Empowerment and Caregiver Experience. Our $5,000 gifts supports PEACE, which is a grassroots program that enables Saint John's to give caregivers the ability to care for themselves and each other during working hours. NICU Beads of Courage Program Our $10,000 gift provides Arts-in-Medicine for children with serious illness. NICU families receive Beads of Courage as a visible symbol of their infant's treatment journey, providing a long-lasting, tangible symbol of the strength and courage of these precious little babies and their families.
