Thanks to your support, the obstetrics (OB) unit was able to purchase a Kangaroo Board!🦘

Developed by a neonatologist, it is a tool that gives medical professionals an organized system for storage and quick access to all equipment and drugs necessary for the first ten minutes of infant resuscitation. With one in ten deliveries categorized as high risk, saving time means saving lives.

(Shown with the kangaroo board are OB team members, L-R, Denali C., RN; Devinn C.; Alyssa H., RN; and Kami W., RN)

Because of you, the GRMC team is better equipped to provide prompt care which can make all the difference to our patients. One hundred percent of all gifts to the GRMC Foundation stay local to impact local health care. Call (641) 236-2079 or visit uph.link/Give_Grinnell to make a gift.
