Surrey Memorial Hospital shifts fundraising focus to feeding fragile newborns
Surrey, B.C. – Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation’s hospital expansion campaign is now fundraising in support of technology that provides nutrition to premature and seriously ill babies.
The new focus is part of the Building Foundations Campaign, a three-year fundraising effort launched October 27, 2011 to coincide with construction of an eight-storey Critical Care Tower, which is the centrepiece of a $512 million expansion and redevelopment of Surrey Memorial Hospital.
As part of this campaign, the Foundation is periodically featuring elements that are included in the Critical Care Tower project. The priority this spring is the purchase of a TPN Compounder, which produces the nutrition given intravenously to newborns who are too small or too sick to feed orally.
“This year, nearly 200 fragile newborns in Surrey Memorial Hospital alone will need this nutrition to gain strength and health,” says SMH Foundation Chair Ron Knight. “The TPN Compounder will help Surrey’s babies as well as those from other Fraser Health hospitals.”
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is the name of the product produced by the hospital’s pharmacy department by combining as many as 15 different supplements.
“Our rapidly growing population is making it increasingly time consuming to mix the ingredients manually,” says Foundation President/CEO Jane Adams. “The hospital has borrowed a TPN Compounder until we buy our own.”
Surrey-based EWOS Canada has come forward from the business sector with a $25,000 donation to launch the fundraising effort. The Foundation will seek a total of $170,000 in support of the TPN Compounder.
The technology will eventually be located in a new pediatric pharmacy – a first for Fraser Health – which is being built within a new 48-bed neonatal intensive care unit on the second floor of the Critical Care Tower.
Construction of the Critical Care Tower began in early 2011 and will be completed in two stages. A new Emergency Centre will open in 2013 while the rest of the Tower will be ready in 2014. The expansion and redevelopment project in Surrey is the largest capital investment ever made to health care in the province.
Established in 1992, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has raised more than $60 million to purchase medical equipment, fund innovative programs, and support training and research. |
