Help Save Newborn Lives at
Langley Memorial Hospital
Newborn twins gasp and struggle to take their first breath—they are in distress. Within seconds, specialists at Langley Memorial Hospital (LMH) jump into action, relying on the power of a neonatal ventilator to provide essential oxygen. But what happens when there’s only one ventilator for two premature babies?
Doctors face an impossible choice: decide which baby gets the ventilator designed for their tiny lungs, and which one must rely on an outdated machine.
Why a second Ventilator?
Langley’s population is growing, leading to an increase in births. With only one neonatal ventilator, doctors are forced to make impossible choices , tearing families away from home during already stressful medical situations.
When a newborn can’t breathe, immediate action is crucial—a Respiratory Therapist has less than a minute to provide care. Your support is urgently needed to help save lives. Every dollar you give will be matched.
Newborns require special care, and the neonatal ventilator at LMH—previously funded by TB Vets—accommodates their needs with short puffs of air tailored to their tiny lungs.
A second neonatal ventilator would significantly enhance the quality of care for newborns in Langley, allowing families to stay close to home while receiving vital treatment.
