Doylestown Health Foundation has received a grant from Community Project Funding for its Doylestown Hospital Infant Protection Project. Staff writers at the Lower Bucks Times wrote about the recent grant.

The grant was announced by U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, who introduced the Community Project Funding into the FY2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act as part of the Community Project Funding program. The initiative provides members of congress with a way to target federal funds to benefit projects and programs within their congressional districts.

The grant money will be used to purchase infant protection equipment and software for the Village Improvement Association of Doylestown Maternity Center at Doylestown Hospital. The tag transponders are attached to babies after delivery and offer detection of tampering, exit detection, and monitor the environment for potential network tampering sources.

“Doylestown Health is honored to receive this grant through the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the FY22 Appropriation Bill,” said Jim Brexler, president and CEO of Doylestown Health.

“This grant will help us protect the safety of our littlest patients delivered in Doylestown Hospital’s VIA Maternity Center and will offer parents peace of mind.”
