Calgary Health Trust

In 2011, your participation in the Sport Chek Mother’s Day Run & Walk helped raise $200,000 for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Calgary’s hospitals. As a major supporter of Calgary Health Trust and advancing health care in Calgary, the Forzani Foundation is again directing a portion of the proceeds to the delivery of quality care for infants in hospitals throughout the city.

At Peter Lougheed Centre’s NICU, funds raised will go towards warming infants with motherly love. The purchase of eight baby bed warming systems will reduce external stimuli and encourage mother-baby interaction. The NICU will also receive a phototherapy bassinet for premature infants.

At both Foothills Medical Centre and Rockyview General Hospital, the NICU will receive funding to help infants breathe easier. The SiPAPs will provide a non-invasive method of assisting babies to breathe and avoid the need for incubation. A ventilator will allow doctors and nurses to optimize open lung ventilation strategies that aim to reduce chronic lung disease in premature infants.

Thank you for your participation in the 35th annual Sport Chek Mother’s Day Run & Walk. In partnership with Calgary Health Trust, your participation will assist in enhancing quality health care in our community. Visit www.calgaryhealthtrust.ca to see how, together, we are making a difference.
