On behalf of the Partners, Associates and Staff at Nixon Wenger LLP we were pleased to contribute a combined donation of $1,000.00 to the Annual SunFM Have a Heart Radiothon on Thursday April 26th. 
Through donations from the community, this incredible fundraiser for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, raises money to purchase equipment needed in the Women’s and Children’s Health Services Unit. 
This year’s goal is to raise funds for three NeoBLUE Radiometers and three CO2 monitors to support infants and children in hospital.
NeoBLUE radiometers provide a precise measurement of light in the blue spectrum, to ensure optimal phototherapy treatment for babies that present with newborn jaundice. CO2 monitors are used to closely observe the recovery of infants and children who have undergone procedures requiring sedation.
Stay tuned to hear how much was raised! What an incredible community we live in and we were so happy to be a part of this great cause.
