Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Ascension Seton Foundation has funded capital and programmatic needs of the Women's Hospital, including purchasing an entire floor of NICU equipment, outfitting the gynecological surgery suite, and expanding a mental health support program for families with infants in the NICU.
