Fully funded, Calgary Health Foundation’s $66M Newborns Need fundraising campaign will create a 58 bed, leading-edge, level 3 NICU at Foothills Medical Centre.

Prominent Calgary business leader, Murray Sigler, takes the helm of Calgary Health Foundation.

At just 35, Sarah Reid suffered a stroke that left her unconscious at home with her four year old son, Kolten, helplessly at her side. When Kolten was two, his father suffered a catastrophic brain injury and within two short years passed away. Then, only months later, Kolten nearly lost his mother to a serious and critical brain emergency. 

For Kael Bernard and his family, life could look a lot different following a 2019 car accident that left him in a coma with a severe, traumatic brain injury.

Alongside Mercedes-Benz’s generous support, the event was spearheaded by two Co-Chairs whose passion for the NICU helped drive the fundraising efforts. We sat down with them to understand more about why they wanted to be involved.

Neurocritical care saves lives and is an essential link to the chain of survival and recovery after facing neurological injuries.
