This year there's a new Panda Warmer at the University Hospital of Northern B.C. to help as newborns transition into their new world, thanks to the efforts of the Prince George Costco staff and management who held a fundraising campaign in May.
The Children's Miracle Network fundraising effort saw almost $85,000 being raised as customers from throughout the region donated at Costco's checkout.
Partnering with the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, this is an annual event that has always seen a significant amount of money being raised that stays in the community and targets getting equipment for the smallest patients.
"We are once again thrilled with the hard work and dedication of all Prince George Costco staff for such tremendous results," said Judy Neiser, CEO for Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
The Panda Warmer has features in place that allows nurses to weigh, monitor, and provide treatment for babies while keeping them warm.
For more information or to donate contact the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation office by calling 250-565-2515.
