23 Years of Saving Babies' Lives!
March 18th & 19th
All expectant parents hope that their babies will be born healthy. Unfortunately, some newborns need special care. That's what makes the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Regina General Hospital such an important unit. It cares for the most at-risk, fragile newborns and supports the needs of parents who are facing unexpected emotions and circumstances.
When the NICU opened its doors in 1976, approximately 50 infants were transported to the unit in a year. Today, the yearly admission rate is around 800. While some babies stay in the NICU for only a few hours for observation, others spend several months.
For over a decade the Z99 Radiothon has been supporting this special unit. The proceeds from the 2010 Radiothon will purchase many essential items including an ultrasound machine dedicated to the unit and equipment for the Special Care Nursery.
