Inspira Health Foundation Philanthropic Projects & Initiatives

As a highly reliable organization, Inspira is committed to providing our patients with the full continuum of care, but philanthropy enables us to do MORE. It allows us to go above and beyond to address the health care needs of patients in our region.

Contributions to Inspira Health Foundation help to create programs and services that support our patients, advance cutting-edge technology, and fund facility enhancements to enrich the health and wellness of our community. Together through philanthropy, we were able to support projects and initiatives such as these in 2022:

• Adult Activity Books for Patients at Guest Services in Inspira Medical Centers Mullica Hill, Vineland, and Elmer – The Foundation funded an assortment of activity books, coloring books, and colored pencils to have when patients contact Volunteer/Guest Services requesting something to do.

• Bereavement Resources Available Network-wide – Contributed to the newly developed bereavement packets to be given to families of those who pass in one of our facilities.

• Furniture for the Zen Den Outside the Deborah F. Sager Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Inspira Medical Center Vineland – The implementation of mindful meditation and opening of a meditation room has improved this unit’s patient interactions and decreased their errors. This can also be measured in our employee engagement scores as staff have been asking for a meditation room.

• Giraffe Infant Incubator at Maternal Child Health at Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill – These isolette beds enable our clinicians to provide care for infants while maintaining the baby’s body temperature. There was only one of these giraffe beds in the unit. Funding another one allows the team to provide more of this quality care to infants.

• Simulab Central Venous Catheterization in the Training Model Emergency Department at Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill – This equipment provides enhanced training tools for emergency department medical residents, allowing them to train on and earn certification in autonomous central line placement. This expedites care when time is critical and enhances the level of care our physicians are able to provide to the community we serve.

• Sponge Detection Initiative for ORs and Labor & Delivery Units at Inspira Medical Centers Mullica Hill, Vineland, and Elmer – Acquired new technology that assists with the elimination of retained sponges, a constant concern nationwide in all surgical areas. This technology allows patients to be scanned prior to closing the surgical site to provide confirmation that all sponges have been removed from the surgical site.
