From 1968 through 1978, March of Dimes made substantial donations to the Boundary Community Hospital. Several pieces of vital equipment were donated to the obstetrics unit - including new surgery lights, a light in the nursery to treat jaundiced babies, an incubator, a fetal heart monitor, and a resuscitator. Using this equipment, for many years thereafter, the doctors and obstetric nurses saved the lives of many infants.
