UPLAND - A Ridley Park boy who was a former Intensive Care Nursery patient at Crozer-Chester Medical Center recently raised money to support other premature babies and their families. Twelve-year-old Kevin Daly raised $200 from family and friends to donate to the St. Stephens Quilt Project, which provides quilts and other items to children who have been born prematurely.

Along with his family, Daly presented the money to Carolyn Boxmeyer of the St. Stephens Quilt Project at Crozer’s Intensive Care Nursery in October.  

Daly’s project was tied to his confirmation at St. Madeline’s Church in Ridley Park.

Crozer-Chester Medical Center delivers nearly 2,000 babies each year, more than any other hospital in Delaware County. Crozer’s Maternity Center offers a 30-bassinet, well-baby nursery, an 18-bassinet Level III Intensive Care Nursery, and a Labor/Delivery/Recovery Suite that includes the latest monitoring equipment to care for mothers and their babies.
