As we welcome the warmth of the season, let us reflect on how your generosity can make a significant impact on the lives of newborns and their families by supporting this year’s Breath of Spring campaign.

Your donation will support the purchase of an infant radiant warmer for the maternity ward at Kootenay Lake Hospital. This equipment uses gentle radiant heat to maintain the body temperature of newborns who require assistance after their birth. It is equipped with an overhead lamp to pre-warm the mattress and is especially helpful in providing soothing warmth for premature babies.

The infant radiant warmer has integrated controls, such as oxygen and suction, for clinicians to use when resuscitating babies. It also comes with a scale for the baby’s first weigh in.

Visit www.klhf.org to learn more about this state of the art equipment and to make your secure donation online.

Maybe this is just my American bias but donate to a hospital! This is like the don't forget to tip your landlord meme.

I dunno, I feel like helping fund a publicly funded hospitals new infant radiant warmer is pretty far distant from tipping a landlord. Maybe that's my Canadian bias?

The government can pay for needed medical equipment since there is already a heavy taxation. If government cuts everybody's taxes universally so people can keep more of their own income, cut payroll tax, cut tax on spending money, cut benefits for politicians and eliminate self voting pay raises, after that then it's all fine to ask for the public to fund or donate if the public is keeping more of their own income
