(LUBBOCK) – Patients of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Covenant Women’s and Children’s will benefit from a grant provided by the John G. and Marie Stella Kenedy Memorial Foundation.
Covenant was awarded a $5,000 grant for a radiant warmer bed for Covenant’s NICU. Radiant warmers are beds that keep newborns warm and allow medical staff to control the infant’s temperature. These beds are extremely important for the NICU.
The purchase of the new warmer will allow the NICU to provide a warm, nurturing environment to premature babies and micro-preemies being treated at Covenant Women’s and Children’s. The radiant warmer will also help sustain life and prevent hypothermia for NICU patients. This project will allow Covenant Health to impact its “Perfect Care” goal.
The John G. and Marie Stella Kenedy Memorial Foundation was founded in 1960 to support and fund educational, charitable and religious activities in Texas.
