As the year draws to a close I wanted to post about an organization that is near and dear to my heart as a #preemie #mother Global Newborn Solutions is a non-profit whose goal is to improve the care of babies in low resource settings. Its founder, Anne Hansen started working on #neonatal wards in rural #Rwanda in 2010, where she was surprised and frustrated to learn that #hypothermia was a major obstacle to the care of newborns. Knowing the concerning relationship between hypothermia and both death and stunted growth, she struggled to find solutions. Upon returning home, determined to address this problem, Dr. Hansen partnered with engineers at Lawrence Berkeley Labs to devise a non-electric skin temperature heating pad that is easy to prepare, use, and clean, specifically designed for low resource contexts. The Dream Warmer™, GNS’s first product, which has now been field-tested with extremely positive results and rave reviews from nurses and mothers, has the potential to overcome many of the limitations encountered by current alternatives. GNS’s mission is imperative: to help end neonatal mortality around the world and support #newborns #borntoosoon no matter where they are born. The small but mighty team is looking for support, so if you want to close the year knowing you have impacted an incredible organization with an important mission, then join me in supporting them in one of the ways below: 1. Please consider donating as part of your end of year holiday giving. As a small organisation, every single dollar counts. https://lnkd.in/eUWKqMgJ 2. GNS is looking for three new #boardmembers, with experience in #financialmanagement, #resourcemobilization, #healthmanufacturing, #scaling a start-up and lived experience or significant experience operating in the environments best served by products like the Dream Warmer™. Previous board experience is desired but not required—just passion, commitment, and a desire to contribute your skills to a grassroots organization making a difference. If that’s you (or someone you know), please apply by January 17, 2025 here: https://lnkd.in/ecRqnMzS 3.

With the onset of spring, our thoughts turn to renewal and growth, but it's also a time to consider safety. As the season brings more outdoor activities and gatherings, the importance of having accessible Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) cannot be overstated. Did you know that according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention... ❤️🩹Approximately 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes occur every year in the United States. ❤️🩹More than 800,000 people in the United States die from cardiovascular disease each year, about 160,000 of those deaths occurring in people under age 65. ❤️🩹Heart disease kills roughly the same number of people in the United States each year as cancer, lower respiratory diseases (including pneumonia), and accidents combined. This Fundraiser Friday, we hope to complete our original February goal of raising $3,000 to purchase 2 AEDs. So far, we've already raised over $1,300! AED stands for “Automated External Defibrillator" and it's a portable electronic device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest by delivering an electric shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. AEDs are simple to use, even for those without a background in medicine and are frequently found in public spaces like schools, airports, offices and healthcare settings. It’s designed to automatically analyze a person’s heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock if necessary to restore a normal heartbeat. AEDs can significantly increase a person’s chances of survival. In fact, AEDs can improve the survival rate for people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest by up to 75 percent! The purchase of 2 AEDs will help us in our goal of outfitting all Lancaster EMS vehicles with the device. Join us this Fundraiser Friday as we rally together to raise funds for AEDs, empowering us all to respond swiftly in times of cardiac emergencies. Together, let's make this spring season safer and brighter for everyone. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), we rely directly on the community we serve for support. Lancaster EMS does not receive direct tax dollars. Will you be a heart hero this April?
