MGH Volunteers donate $8,000 towards the purchase of new NICU equipment
The Marquette General Hospital Volunteers recently donated $8,000 to the Marquette General Foundation to complete the fund raising needed to purchase an $80,000 state-of-the-art transporter for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Proceeds from the 2008 Inaugural Celebrating Our Champions Foundation Gala also helped fund the transporter.
Each year, approximately 70 sick newborns from across the Upper Peninsula are brought to MGH for the highly specialized care they need.
Neonatologist Julia Frei, M.D., accepts the check on behalf of the NICU from Volunteer Board President Carolyn Severson.
