There are many reasons to create and maintain a vibrant hospital
To save lives.
Most of us won't know when we may need the care available at Rice Hospital. Every day of the year, people at Rice stand ready to care for all who come through our doors. Providing staff with the most advanced tools is crucial.
By having life-saving technology in area ambulances, paramedics can determine if someone is having a heart attack before they arrive at our Emergency Room - making every second count.
We see over 12,000 patients through the ER alone. Many times, opening a patient's airway quickly is critical. Employee donations made it possible to purchase video intubation equipment. This cutting edge technology allows a clear view of the path. It is helpful when treating traumatic injuries and opening other difficult airways in both adults and children, and serves as an excellent training tool.
These are just some of the ways your gifts to the foundation help save lives at Rice.
The most important reason is what it could mean to you and yours.
