Your impact on research
In 2019, five research projects were funded in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit that are helping create new models of care that will give premature babies a better chance of survival.
The first Verasonics research ultrasound was funded for Maternal Fetal Medicine through community fundraising. This equipment will help develop new predictive models that help to better understand Stillbirth and growth restriction during pregnancy.
