Donation to improve critical care, provide cultural components at Children’s Hospital
A donation from the Dakota Dunes Community Development Corp. plans to ensure items like moss bags and smudging are available at the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital as well as modern critical care equipment.
The DDCDC presented the hospital foundation with a cheque for $275,000 on September 10.
“The Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation supports community success through innovative partnerships and recognizes the importance of state-of-the-art maternal critical care equipment for JCPH and the inclusion of the culturally appropriate supplies for maternal care,” said Saskatoon Tribal Council Chief Mark Arcand, Board Chair, Dakota Dunes CDC in a news release.
Along with needed medical equipment, the DDCDC wants to make sure parents and newborns feel respected. To do that, they are taking steps to make sure that moss bags, smudging and belly button bags are available.
