The Friends of the Moncton Hospital Foundation has launched its annual fundraising campaign with an ambitious goal of $875,000.
Campaign co-chair Tom Badger tells us this year’s poster child was Eli Billard, now a precocious three-year-old boy, whose mother had a difficult delivery.
Badger says the child was in the neo-natal department and treated by a number of professionals and his parents were on hand to give thanks to The Moncton Hospital and the foundation.
Funds raised this year will go to a number of areas including a new pediatric ambulatory care clinic, a new mobile digital radiology system for sick newborns and new technology for respiratory services in the intensive car unit.
The campaign just launched today and has already raised $100,000.
