MEADOWBROOK, PA ― December 2024 ― Redeemer Health’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has been the recipient of a lot of love in 2024. Donations from grateful NICU families, thoughtful community members, and substantial grant opportunities, have enabled the unit to up its game in caring for our tiniest patients.
- This week, the Superhero Project Foundation donated $42.5K to the Holy Redeemer Hospital NICU to purchase an Iridex laser eye machine to treat retinopathy in premature infants. “This machine is pivotal for families who have a baby born in need of this procedure. No longer will they need to leave the hospital to have this done,” said Kelly Gallagher from the Superhero Project Foundation. “Our family fundraisers are a vital part of our growth and commitment to serving the NICU community,” she said. Gallagher’s twins, Connor and Curran, spent months in the Holy Redeemer Hospital NICU in 2014. Rex and Dylan, also NICU alumni, helped present the donation from the Superhero Project Foundation last week.
- Long-time Redeemer Health donor, Agnes Mulroney, contributed a transformational gift to the Holy Redeemer Hospital NICU this month. After touring the NICU and Maternity Center, she was inspired to support equipment and technology needs, as well as Redeemer’s NEST program. NEST changes the lives of new moms, families and newborns recovering from substance use disorder and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. Agnes’ philanthropic support for Redeemer Health spans more than 20 years, with meaningful donations to Redeemer Health’s patient care programs.
- Holy Redeemer’s NICU received a $1K donation from the Little Giraffe Foundation this year, to help NICU families with basic needs such as meals and transportation. “By supporting these essential programs, we’re helping parents focus on what matters most – the health of their little ones,” said the Little Giraffe founder. The donation will be applied specifically to NICU families of newborns recovering from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.
- The Superhero Project Foundation also donated funds to Holy Redeemer’s NICU to purchase AngelEye Cameras, allowing families to stay connected with their NICU babies from anywhere using any device. The tool enables care teams to share updates through real-time messages, images and videos.
