1 Bili-Blanket and 2 Bili-Lights, $10,488.90

El Paso Children’s Pediatrics is thankful for CMN’s help in supplying the funds for a bili-blanket and two bili-lights, $10,488.90.  Bilirubin is a reddish yellow pigment made during the normal breakdown of red blood cells and when a patient is admitted with a high bilirubin level, the patient is placed under the light and over the bili-blanket and this helps bring down the bilirubin level. More than 40 – 60 patients per year benefit from the blanket and lights. Thanks, CMN!
