Thank you for supporting sick kids in our community!

Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our community, we raised $94,500
to purchase much needed equipment for the pediatric floor at VJH

These funds will pay for two additional monitoring systems to increase the number of high-acuity beds available in the pediatric ward at VJH

With centralized monitoring, patients can be hooked up to a monitor in their very own room, with the results displayed in a highly visible, centralized location. This means staff can keep watch over their young patients’ respirations, oxygenation, and cardiac status 24/7 and are alerted the second something changes.

It also means greater peace of mind for parents and family members, knowing that their kids are receiving the very best care – as close to home as possible!

“When there’s an emergency on the peds floor, the faster we can respond, and the more accurate the data, the better the outcomes for patients and their families.”

- Dr. Kathryn MacKinlay, Pediatrician
