“We are deeply thankful for the support from the Shelby County United Way POWER Group and their Student United Way,” said Jenny Bruns, Executive Director of Wilson Health Foundation. “This funding enables us to offer essential resources that not only prioritize the safety of our newborns but also provide peace of mind to new parents during their hospital stay.”
The collaboration with United Way highlights the community’s commitment to enhancing health outcomes for families throughout Shelby County. Through initiatives like this, Wilson Health strives to create an environment where every child has the best possible start in life.
The Family Birth Center at Wilson Health continues to adopt innovative practices and resources to ensure a supportive experience for new parents. The continued use of HALO sleep sacks is a testament to this ongoing commitment.
