GRANT: Safe Haven Baby Box

In part to a grant from the Foundation, the hospital recently installed a Safe Haven Baby Box which allows a mother to safely, securely and anonymously surrender her newborn if she’s unable to provide care.

Grateful Patient

Maybe it was a smile, kind word or gesture which brought you or your loved one comfort. At MMH, patients often ask if there is a way for them to recognize caregivers who provided exceptional care during their stay. Through our Grateful Patient program, we invite you to make a monetary donation to the Health Foundation in your caregiver's name.

Why do I donate?

The Mutos

Losing a child may be the hardest life event a parent will ever experience, but with the passage of time and incredible support from family and friends, local parents Tom and Cami Muto have slowly begun to heal. In 2019, the couple lost their 18-month-old daughter, Rowan, to a traumatic, unexpected accident. To keep her memory alive, the family made a donation to the Health Foundation in support of the hospital's new reflection garden.

"When we heard Margaret Mary was adding a reflection garden, we knew we wanted to support it," said Cami. "Grief is different for everyone, and being surrounded by nature often brings about peace. We'll never understand why we lost Rowan, but the garden reminds us we are all a part of the circle of life."
