Thanks to more than a dozen fundraising lemonade stands and hundreds of generous community members, babies born at United Memorial Medical Center can take home a free swaddle. The lemonade stand fundraising event raised almost $5,500 for the maternity department in just one day. More than 500 babies are born at UMMC each year, and parents are taught how to swaddle their babies for comfort and safe sleeping. Staff members and community members wanted to make sure every baby had a swaddle to take home, and now everyone can rest more peacefully.
