Mr. Gary Ho, CEO of the Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation of Canada (back row, second from right) and members present Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation (RCHF) President and CEO Adrienne Bakker (middle) and RCHF Director, Major Gifts, Barbara Becker (back row, second from left) with a cheque for $28,000 for a neonatal brain monitor for the Royal Columbian Hospital Variety Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A neonatal brain monitor is an important piece of equipment for diagnosing and monitoring complications resulting from asphyxiation, or lack of oxygen at birth. Since 1997, the Canadian Neonatal Network has recognized RCH’s NICU as consistently ranking among the top in the country for achieving excellent survival rates for premature babies.
