Baxter Health receives donation of CuddleCot

The Baxter Health Women and Newborn Care Center in Arkansas recently received a donation of a CuddleCot, to make the stay of grieving parents a little bit easier after losing a child. The donation is a result of a fundraiser facilitated through social media, with the assistance of the Baxter Health Foundation.

Instead of a baby shower, local social media influencer Karla Bradley, a mother of 9 children and the wife of neurosurgeon Dr. Lucas Bradley held an online fundraiser, where over $8,000 was donated to the Baxter Health Foundation from people all over the world.

The Baxter Regional Women and Newborn Care Center is designed to meet the unique and special health needs of women of all ages, ranging from prenatal care to childbirth to gynecological surgery. The Center boasts the latest technology focusing on patient-centered care. The unit features 10 state-of-the-art labor and delivery rooms, up-to-date postpartum and recovery rooms, 2 triage exam rooms, a comfortable waiting room as well as a large nursery, and fetal monitoring system. The Center is also fully secure, with visitors provided access to enter and exit the unit, providing the most protection for their smallest patients and their families.

The donation also highlighted the Bradley family’s commitment to the Baxter Health Foundation and the local community. Bradley stated, “It is our sincere hope that this CuddleCot will help families cherish every moment they have with their baby, no matter how brief that moment may be.”

The Women and Newborn Care Center team and Baxter Health are honored to be the recipient of the CuddleCot, which will serve as a source of comfort and support for many families during their most difficult times. The Baxter Health Foundation extends its deepest appreciation to the Bradley family and others who have contributed to making the Center a place of compassion, healing, and hope.
