equipment.
“We are very grateful to the Mid-
Shore Board of Realtors for their generosity.
Being in the hospital when you are little
can be a very scary notion so having an updated
play area provides a wonderful distraction
for our youngest patients,” says
Patty MacDougall, MSN, RN, Nurse Manager
for Women and Children’s Services.
“This gift helps our children to feel less
scared and offer them a way to escape the
boredom being admitted to the hospital and
stuck in one room brings.”
The donation will also be used to purchase
several small pieces of equipment.
The equipment includes new Bili Meters,
used to assess for jaundice, and new pulse
oximeters, used to assess blood oxygen levels.
Both assessments are vital before discharging
children and new babies home.
The members of the Mid-Shore Board
of Realtors, which serves Talbot, Dorchester
and Caroline Counties, donated over
9,500 volunteer hours in a variety of activities,
including Habitat for Humanity, local
Boy Scouts, Youth Hockey Association and
the Chamber Music Festival. With fewer
than 500 members, the Mid-Shore Board
raised over $600,000 and reached over
1,500 families with its volunteer activities.
