‘TIS THE SEASON OF GRATITUDE SEIBERT FAMILY This past Labor Day, we celebrated a special type of labor – a Labor & Delivery one! Kristen, Jon and baby Abigail are thankful for the wonderful staff members in the Maternity Center at Chilton Medical Center who provided their family with compassionate and personalized care during their stay. Special shout outs go out to Carol, Andria, Lisa, Sue, Sheri, Terri, Debbie, Genie and Meg – the incredible nursing team that the new family of three would like to acknowledge for their love and support. LEE CAHILL With a sole focus on creating a better hospital experience for future patients, Lee and Patricia Cahill have done just that through a promise they made three years ago. Because of the care Patricia received from the staff at Chilton when she was hospitalized back in 2014, the Pompton Plains couple kept their promise with the hope that their donation would benefit someone else. Since then, they have donated medical equipment as well as funded an array of Chilton projects including most recently, six rolling bedside cribs and a warmer for the Special Care Nursery in Chilton’s Maternity Center. “Philanthropy is about much more than writing checks. It’s about getting involved – and staying involved – in your community, in your hospital, in the causes that are important to you,” stated Lee. “Our relationship with the Chilton Foundation and the Maternity Center has provided my wife and I with a deeper understanding of the challenges faced daily by the dedicated staff who work there and the urgent need they have for specialized equipment.” Pictured are (from left) – Donna Symons MSN, RNC-OB, Manager, Maternity, CMC; Lee Cahill, Donor; Marcella Klepacki, Maternity Clinical Coordinator, CMC, and Meg Johnstone, Lactation Consultant, CMC SUBARU DONATION For the second year, representatives from Wayne Subaru, Inc. and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society — New Jersey Chapter visited the Cancer Center at Chilton Medical Center recently to deliv- er 160 blankets to be given to patients undergoing cancer treatment. Each blanket includes a hand- written note of encouragement from a Wayne Subaru customer. The donation is part of Subaru’s national Loves to Care campaign, which aims to spread hope, love and warmth to cancer patients through small gestures.
