KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Through the generosity of donors from throughout the region, Bronson Health Foundation is celebrating the successful completion of its Bronson Children’s Hospital campaign – raising more than $4.7 million to support services and mission-critical projects at the children’s hospital.
This total far exceeds the original $3 million dollar goal set back at the start of the children’s hospital campaign in 2022. “We are overwhelmed by the generosity we’ve seen from individuals, families and organizations who have stepped up to support our Children’s Hospital Fund,” says Terry Morrow, president of Bronson Health Foundation. “These gifts help to not only strengthen the fund to sustain ongoing programs and services, but also to address several emerging needs,” adds Morrow.
Bronson Children's Hospital is the only children's hospital in southwest Michigan. Medical Director Dr. Gregory Tiongson explains how the community’s generosity makes a difference for thousands of patients each year- from newborns to toddlers to teens. “Having services designed specifically for children and their families is an integral part of not just medical care but the overall healing process,” says Tiongson. “These funds have a wide reach. They provide services like art therapy at the bedside and diabetes kits for pediatric patients with a new diagnosis. And, they support larger projects from ventilators for babies in intensive care to an ambulance to transport children to Bronson from outlying hospitals. We are so grateful to the community for making children’s health and wellbeing a priority.”
Some of the additional projects supported by donations from the community include:
- Child life program
- Child advocacy
- Genetic testing
- Mental health screening resources
- Stuffed animals for pediatric surgery
- NICU parent liaison
- NICU celebrations and support
