Henrico family channels grief into donation for Bon Secours St. Mary's

Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital dedicated a new Flexmort CuddleCot System into service, thanks to a donation from a local family who experienced the stillbirth of their second child at the same hospital just 10 months earlier.
The CuddleCot is a specialized cooling bassinet designed to regulate a baby's body temperature after death, helping to preserve the baby's appearance and allow grieving families to spend additional time with their child. This technology can offer bereaved parents and other loved ones the opportunity to bond with their baby, take pictures, and create lasting memories during a difficult and traumatic time.
The donation was made by a Henrico family, Jenna and Daniel Green, who lost their daughter, Riley Lois Green, at 28 weeks gestation. The couple felt grateful for the compassionate care they received at St. Mary's Hospital and wanted to honor Riley's memory by creating a legacy for their daughter and helping other families facing similar losses.
