The Women’s Board is committed to raising $1.5 million for a new Kids Kare Mobile ICU, a Neonatal and Pediatric Critical Care Transport vehicle, including equipment and services necessary for the operation of the ambulance by 2024.
Wolfson Children’s Hospital is currently the only full-service hospital for children in the region. Kids Kare vehicles and helicopters safely transport more than 2,250 infants and children a year to Wolfson Children’s Hospital for emergency critical care, trauma, and specialty care.
Of those transported,15% are newborns in need of neonatal intensive care services.
