Thanks to the incredible generosity of St. Joseph's Hospitals Foundation's 2024 Fashion Show committee members, sponsors and attendees, we were able to add 22 new Panda Warmers to our Labor & Delivery unit. 🐼💖

These warmers play a critical role in providing immediate care to newborns, and the impact they’ll have on our tiniest patients and their families is immeasurable. We loved having the Fashion Show committee members and sponsors here to wheel the new warmers into our unit.

Thanks also to our Paula's Project supporters for making panda hats for our newborns, including this precious little one who was the first to use one of our new Panda Warmers.
