Adalyn Rose Foundation Donates Remembrance Carts to UPMC Magee-Womens in York and Lititz
December 4,
2024 – The Adalyn Rose Foundation (ARF) and the Eddie and Alexa Loughery family recently donated two Remembrance Carts to the labor and delivery units at UPMC Magee-Womens at UPMC Memorial and UPMC Lititz. In addition to the carts, ARF provided its Gentle Guidance and Care Bereavement Training to 12 UPMC labor and delivery staff members.
The Loughery
family, Eddie, Alexa, and son, Asher, made this heartfelt donation in memory of
their late son, Parker, who was born on Sept. 25, 2023, and passed away on Oct.
1, 2023.
The Adalyn Rose
Foundation supports families during times of unimaginable loss by providing
hospitals with tools that help grieving parents make the most of the time they
have with their babies. They also offer comprehensive and continuous care to
families grieving the loss of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or during
infancy. Remembrance Carts are designed to bring comfort to parents, offering
keepsakes and books to create special memories with their babies.
"At UPMC,
we are committed to offering compassionate care and comprehensive support to
those experiencing pregnancy loss," said Allison Trowell, vice president,
UPMC Womens Health in Central Pa. "We are grateful to the Loughery Family
and the Adalyn Rose Foundation for their generous donation of Remembrance Carts
to our labor and delivery units. These carts will provide much needed support
to families during their most difficult times."
In addition to
the Remembrance Carts, UPMC Magee-Womens offers extensive support services to
grieving families during and after a pregnancy and baby loss and provides
referrals to community support services.
