Every child born in the NICU receives a hand-made quilt made by volunteers and a Ruth Lyons embroidered sleep sack, and mothers receive books and a journal to document the early days of their newborn. The Ruth Lyons Children’s Fund also supports gifts and comfort items for celebrating holidays year-round, including Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and more.

Founded in 1986, Good Samaritan Foundation is the philanthropic vehicle for Good Samaritan Hospital to improve the health of the Greater Cincinnati community.
