PLATTSBURGH, NY (2/9/2022) – Babies entering the world at The University of Vermont Health Network-Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital’s (CVPH) Alice T. Miner Women and Children’s Center (WCC) are getting an even more comfortable start to life thanks to The Foundation of CVPH and its generous contributors.

Six new bassinets costing a total of $21,000 are in use at the WCC, all of them purchased by The Foundation through donations from the community. WCC Director Disa Seymour pointed out the bassinets provide benefits to baby, mother and staff. Among the benefits she noted:

• Each bassinet is height adjustable and can tilt, making it easier for new moms to reach their bundles of joy from bed while enhancing mother-to-infant closeness.
• Drawers that open on both sides, providing easy access to supplies no matter how the bassinet is positioned in the room.
• A handle to push the bassinet around.
• Brakes.
