Thanks to the generosity of donors supporting BVRMC’s AWARE fund, holiday gifts were provided to patients fighting cancer this winter. Items in this year’s gift include a gas gift card, a grocery gift card and a snack box filled with holiday treats.

“We are incredibly thankful to have a community that supports our patients through the AWARE fund, helping them feel comforted and cared for during one of the hardest journeys of their lives,” says Deb Colshan, BVRMC Director of Oncology & Infusion.

The AWARE fund helps purchase items not covered by insurance for patients fighting cancer at BVRMC such as hats, wigs, grocery cards, chemo shirts, mastectomy products and other comfort items.

The Buena Vista Regional Healthcare Foundation recently purchased a new syringe pump for the BVRMC First Embrace Obstetrics department through the Cares for Kids fund. This syringe pump helps safely deliver antibiotics or IV fluids to newborns who are at risk of infection or need extra support after birth. Because our tiniest patients are so delicate, precise dosing is very important. This new equipment helps provide safe, consistent care and is one of the many ways the Foundation helps make the patient care experience better.
