| Wal-Mart of Geneseo recently awarded a $700 grant to the Hammond-Henry Hospital Auxiliary to help purchase a portable digital infant scale. The scale will allow hospital staff to provide an immediate answer to "How much does the baby weigh?" question. The scale also will be used to monitor the weight of infants during their hospital stay. Before, all babies had to be carried to the nursery to be weighed, the new scale will allow them to be weighed in the room. Pictured with the scale are, from left: Norma Woods, from the Wal-Mart accounting department, Eric Landherr, assistant manager at Wal-Mart, and Florence Hendrickson, Hammond-Henry Hosptial Auxiliary president. The scale will be used in the birthing rooms in the Birthing Center in the new third-floor addition. The auxiliary also has pledged to furnish the visitor area in the patient comfort addition and to provide a labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum bed for the obstetrics department. For more information about the Auxiliary, or to become a volunteer, contact Julie West at 944-9130. |
