A new investment in paediatric care for Leamington.<\/p>\n
Erie Shores Health Foundation has received $56,202 from W.E. Care for Kids Foundation to purchase two pieces of specialized equipment, an infant warmer and a paediatric vein finder.<\/p>\n
Penny Bellhouse, CEO of Erie Shores Health Foundation says the funding will go toward both replacing aging equipment and adding new technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe infant warmers are actually going to replace two previous warmers that have come to end of life,\u201d Bellhouse said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis allows us to continue that care and make sure that we have the latest technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
She says the infant warmer provides immediate advanced care in the critical moments following birth.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really regulates their temperature and integrates respiratory support helping clinicians provide timely evidence based care,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Bellhouse says the paediatric vein finder is new technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt helps to locate veins for IV therapy, blood draws, making that poke more accurate on the first attempt, which in a young child is very important to help reduce pain and anxiety,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cW.E. Care is proud to support initiatives that improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for children across our region,\u201d said Viki Grado, executive director of W.E. Care for Kids Foundation. <\/p>\n
\u201cBy funding this equipment, we are helping ensure that newborns and children receiving care in the county have access to innovative technology that prioritizes safety, comfort, and quality care.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new investment in paediatric care for Leamington.
