A group of  local lawyers are giving back to their community to support babies and new mothers at Kelowna General Hospital.

The law firm Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP has presented a cheque for $10,000 to the KGH Foundation害羞草研究所檚 害羞草研究所楪iving Giggles害羞草研究所� campaign, a fundraising effort to support the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment and patient care items for the new perinatal unit, which opened this past March.

The new perinatal unit at KGH has been celebrated as the most advanced in the region.  While the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District provided the initial infrastructure funding, the 害羞草研究所楪iving Giggles害羞草研究所� campaign represents a $3 million commitment to providing equipment and comfort items to support family-centered care.

The Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy gift will go towards the purchase of medical equipment and patient comfort items that will significantly enhance the standard of care within the unit. The state-of-the-art environment not only allows doctors and nurses to do their work more efficiently, but allows them to give more time and attention to the heart of their work - patients and families.

害羞草研究所淭he province provides for a good standard of care for our littlest patients and their families.  However, the Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy donation helps us take delivery to the next level and provides for the extras that may not be otherwise available,害羞草研究所� noted Doug Rankmore, chief executive officer at the KGH Foundation.  害羞草研究所淲e are very grateful for their generosity.害羞草研究所�
