Centralia, IL - SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital has added an infant resuscitator to its emergency department—a device designed to deliver controlled, consistent, and precise respiratory support for newborns and infants. This technology will greatly enhance the health ministry’s ability to respond to pediatric respiratory emergencies, ensuring safer and more effective care for the hospital’s youngest patients.
Aimee Nix, Manager of Respiratory Therapy at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the generous contribution, stating that the new equipment will be instrumental in providing safe and effective care for the hospital’s youngest patients. In a gesture of appreciation, Nix presented the Auxiliary with a thank-you note, and a handcrafted wooden ink pen engraved with the message: “INK-credible,” celebrating the Auxiliary’s continued support and generosity.
“This gift from the Auxiliary marks another meaningful step in our commitment to excellence in patient care, and highlights the important role our Auxiliary plays in helping carry out our mission to reveal the healing spirit of God,” said Kay Zibby-Damron, Foundation Director at SSM Health Good Samaritan Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital.
