Lehigh Valley Health Network gives $10,000 to Bethlehem maternal-child health program for portable cribs and Nexplanon
Summary
The Finance Committee recommended council action to accept a $10,000 contribution from Lehigh Valley Health Network toward portable cribs and Nexplanon contraceptive inventory for the Health Bureau’s maternal-child health program.
The Bethlehem finance committee recommended placing legislation on the May 6 council agenda to accept a $10,000 contribution from Lehigh Valley Health Network to the city health bureau’s maternal-child health program.
Administration staff described the contribution as part of LVHN’s annual support to the city and said the funds will purchase portable cribs and Nexplanon contraceptive devices for the maternal‑child health program. Committee members asked whether the donor directed how the money should be spent; administration staff said LVHN makes a variety of contributions and the health bureau receives funds for specific program needs in some cases.
Committee members did not object and approved forwarding the appropriation to council.
