UT Federal Credit Union uses Facebook to raise money for the NICU
Published: Monday, May 24, 2010
The UT Federal Credit Union made a donation to the Tom and Katherine Black Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) last week. The credit union raised donations through an online campaign that utilized its Facebook page. For each new Facebook fan, the credit union would donate $1 to the NICU. Approximately 750 fans later, the credit union made its donation that will go towards the phase II rennovation of the NICU.
UT Medical Center is 1 of 2 hospitals in Tennessee with individual NICU rooms and 1 of a handful nationwide. Secluded in a cove with 10 to 12 rooms, triangular-shaped nurses’ stations tucked between 2 rooms have windows for looking in on each infant. Monitors, ventilators and “smart” intravenous (IV) pumps, purchased with a federal grant, instantaneously pour data to the medical staff. Rooms have sound-absorbent floors and paint, highly sensitive temperature controls, improved airflow and “light showers” that spotlight a nurse reading a medical chart, not the baby. “Smart” beds keep temperatures constant so the babies do not have to be moved. Care of critically ill babies and their families is guided by the medical center’s High Risk Regional Perinatal Program.
UT Federal Credit Union was founded on the philosophy that a credit union is a financial cooperative owned by members who share a common interest such as work, education or association. The heart of a credit union is its membership and as such seeks to encourage savings, provide members with access to lower cost loans and support the financial well-being of its members.
