About 2021 Giving Tuesday

There has been a 65% increase in pediatric ventilator days at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children in 2021.

That is why we need your help.

The focus this Giving Tuesday is respiratory needs. Because of the continued spike of RSV and other viruses, our clinical teams need your help to provide new, innovative equipment for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Pediatric Emergency Department. You will give breath and life when you give this Giving Tuesday. 

With your donations, we can increase treatment capacity for respiratory illnesses that happen each year and affect every child, including RSV, flu, and Rhinovirus. Your donation will help purchase three high-need items:
- Portable CMAC for better visualization when inserting vents
- Ventilator for lifesaving breathing support
- Transcutaneous CO2 monitor and sensor for fewer blood draws and sticks when blood-level monitoring is needed

$80,000 must be raised for the Foundation to be able to fund all three needs.

A battle that isn't going away soon
