When a baby stops breathing, there’s no time for a quick refresher on proper CPR technique. It’s a skill you must have down. That’s why staff at Carle Richland Memorial Hospital undergo regular neonatal CPR training. And now, they have a brand-new training tool, thanks to a grant from the hospital’s Greatest Needs Fund. The infant CPR manikin offers several new features, including enhanced compression and ventilation measurements, and a sensor to ensure correct hand placement. We love when philanthropy enhances world-class healthcare.

Happy Nurses Week to the nearly 5,000 nurses across the Carle Health service area who bring skill, compassion and expertise to our patients every day. To deliver the highest level of care our communities deserve, nurses must have access to ongoing education and professional growth opportunities. We’re so grateful to our donors whose generosity funds multiple nurse scholarships and awards – making a powerful difference in the education of our nurses and the care delivered to our patients.

Thanks to a $30,000 grant from the PNC Foundation, Methodist College students are receiving critical support to stay on track in their healthcare education. This essential funding helps cover basic needs – such as housing, food, transportation, healthcare and childcare – so students can focus on what matters most: preparing for rewarding careers caring for others. We’re grateful for this meaningful support and for all our donors who help create pathways for the next generation of compassionate healthcare professionals.

Thank you, Champaign Rotary, for making such a meaningful difference.
