A generous donation has been made to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation thanks to the
Kinsmen TeleMiracle Foundation.
Following a successful grant application, the Kinsmen TeleMiracle Foundation has made a donation of $31,095 supporting the purchase of a new Panda Infant Warmer and Resuscitator for St. Joseph’s Hospital. The new piece of equipment offers healthcare staff simple and easy-to-use features such as hands-free alarm silence, full-color display, and an integrated scale, allowing them to focus on the most critical aspects of their job—caring for newborns and their families.
“Thanks to the generosity of TeleMiracle donors, we are honored to fund the purchase of this essential, state-of-the-art Infant Warmer and Resuscitator that will help improve the quality of care for infants at St. Joseph’s Hospital,” says Raelynn Nicholson, Chair of the Kinsmen Foundation Board of Directors. “This gift shows how TeleMiracle proceeds are helping people every day, right here at home in Estevan and the surrounding area.”
As a thank you for their support, St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation has awarded the Kinsmen TelemIracle Foundation the naming rights to the primary delivery room. It will now be known as the Kinsmen Foundation Delivery Room.
“Kinsmen Telemiracle have become huge supporters of our hospital over the years and we wanted to have a special way of saying thank you. We thought the naming rights of the Delivery Room would be a great way to do just that,” said Lori Gervais, Executive Director of St. Joseph’s Hospital.
The Kinsmen TeleMiracle Foundation and the local Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs are no stranger to supporting the local hospital. TeleMiracle has funded new beds in both Unit A and the Maternity Unit while the Estevan Kinettes have given $65,000 for their naming rights agreement of the Obstetrics & Surgical Department.
“TeleMiracle and the local Kinsmen and Kinettes Clubs have been so generous. They have donated hundred of thousands of dollars to St. Joseph’s Hospital and have made a huge difference in local healthcare in our community. We cannot thank them enough”, said Gervais.
