Senior Donates Surgical Gowns to NVRH
For her senior Capstone project during the Spring semester, Erin Langlais researched the different non-pharmaceutical methods of minimizing preoperative anxiety in children. Erin was inspired to pursue this subject because of her childhood experiences in hospitals. She created and donated five surgical gowns for local pediatric patients at NVRH. Going forward, children at NVRH will get to choose their own surgical gown. These gowns feature engaging and bright patterns to give the children positive encouragement before surgery.
Throughout this project, Erin was advised by Albert Fisher, CRNA, Deane Rankin, MD '86, and Pete Tomczyk, RN. On May 11, Pete Tomczyk accepted Erin's gowns on behalf of NVRH. She honed her sewing skills as a student in Fashion I, II, and Advanced Fashion with Ms. Flo Darling '05.

Make it Better Better Club Delivers Supplies and Clears the Road!
The Make it Better Club sponsored a fundraiser to collect donations for Riverside Animal Rescue in Lunenburg. Last week they delivered items to feed and care for the animals, and they had an opportunity to spend time with some of the rescue's kittens.
