Health foundation seeks help to raise funds for two new pediatric hospital beds Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express

This holiday season, the Moose Jaw Health Foundation (MJHF) is inviting the community to make a difference by supporting its Buy-a-Bed Campaign. The initiative aims to raise funds for two specialized pediatric beds at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital that will offer young patients a space that’s designed for healing and comfort. The campaign is already underway and will conclude when enough funds are raised to purchase the two beds, each valued at $9,500. “The hospital can be a bit of a scary place for children, especially over the holidays,” said Kelly McElree, director of the MJHF. “A new bed provides a safe, comfortable environment that will foster better healing for our hospital’s youngest patients. “Christmas is a time of giving, and we’re hoping to give the hospital the gift of two new beds so they can help our community’s youngest patients.” The new hospital beds are specifically designed for children with their comfort and care in mind, McElree explained. Their design incorporates ease-of-use interfaces that allow health care professionals to adjust them easily and with minimal discomfort to the patient. This thoughtful design benefits both the children in care and the staff who provide it, thereby helping to support a quicker recovery so children can get home and return to “just being kids.” “Over the course of time, these beds are used hundreds and hundreds of times,” McElree said. “And they wear out, and they need to be replaced throughout the hospital. We want to highlight that need with replacement beds in the pediatrics unit.” The addition of these new beds may not be possible without the support of the MJHF. The foundation is the hospital’s official charitable organization and organizes all fundraising projects in support of it. “We do a lot of lobbying as well for equipment and services at this hospital, but without the foundation and the community’s support, those new beds would not be a reality here,” McElree said. “Moose Jaw is very fortunate to have a very, very generous community,” he added. “We’re very appreciative of all donations that we receive. Every dollar helps, and all those donations that do come into the foundation stay in our community to help patients
