The Ahmanson Foundation has awarded Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital a generous grant to purchase neonatal equipment for the new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Henry Mayo’s 11-bed NICU is nearly complete with an anticipated opening in early 2012. Great thought went into the NICU design to ensure a high quality, comprehensive continuum of care for all mothers and babies who need extra care, along with a warm, nurturing environment that will meet the needs of our tiniest patients right here in our own community and close to family and friends. The Level II NICU will be staffed with a full range of highly specialized neonatal care experts and equipped with leading edge technology and materials to ensure the best care for babies. The patient-centered environment includes noise control and dedicated space for family members.

The Ahmanson Foundation has provided important grants to Henry Mayo over 30 years totaling more than $2 million, including a very generous grant in 2005 to help fund the expansion of Emergency and Trauma Services. 

The Ahmanson Foundation serves Los Angeles County by funding health care, arts and humanities, education, as well as a wide range of human services.

The Ahmanson Foundation supports non-profit organizations that demonstrate sound fiscal management, efficient operation, and program integrity, and strives to enhance the quality of life and cultural legacy of the Los Angeles community.
