Niagara Health Foundation Launches Baby Wall to Celebrate New Life and Support Niagara Health

Published on April 1, 2026

The Niagara Health Foundation is proud to announce the launch of its Baby Wall, a beautiful new recognition space that celebrates the arrival of newborns while supporting care for women, babies, and families across Niagara.

Located on the 4th floor of Marotta Family Hospital Women’s & Baby Unit, the Baby Wall is a vibrant and welcoming display where families can honour a newborn or loved one by adding their name—and even a photo—to the installation. Each baby’s story will become part of the tree.

For families who choose to participate, a $200 donation places their baby’s name and birthdate on a leaf, gently woven into the branches—symbolizing new beginnings and growth.
For those who wish to share even more of their story, a $500 donation will feature their baby on one of the apples, including their name, birthdate, and a photo—standing out as a vibrant celebration of life.

Together, these leaves and apples create a living, growing tribute—one that reflects the many families whose journeys begin at Niagara Health, and the community that surrounds them with care. Each recognition remains on display for 12 months, creating a lasting connection to this special moment.

Every gift directly supports priority needs in Women & Babies programs and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Niagara Health—helping ensure that the youngest patients receive exceptional care, close to home.

“This is a joyful way for families to celebrate one of life’s most special milestones while making a real difference,” said Andrea Scott, President & CEO of the Niagara Health Foundation. “For many families, Niagara Health is where their story begins. The Baby Wall offers a meaningful way to honour that experience while helping support care for others.”

For families who have experienced care at Niagara Health, the Baby Wall is also a heartfelt way to express gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and care teams who supported them during pregnancy, delivery, and early neonatal care. Whether celebrating a newborn, welcoming a grandchild, or honouring someone special, the Baby Wall creates a lasting connection between families and the care they received.
