The Stollery Children's Hospital is a 150 bed〔(Stollery Children's Hospital - Background )〕 children's hospital that opened in October 2001.〔(Our History )〕 It is a ''hospital within a hospital'',〔(The Stollery Family )〕 being situated within the University of Alberta Hospital and co-located with Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute in the Walter C. Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.〔(Stollery Children's Hospital )〕 The hospital, which was run by Capital Health before being merged in 2008 into Alberta Health Services, is named for Bob and Shirley Stollery who provided the original donation that went to help with the creation of the hospital.〔 ==History== The Northern Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation was created in 1978 with the intention of having a specific children's hospital built in Edmonton. The foundation was a backer of the Child Health program and in 1992 the name was changed to Children's Health Foundation of Northern Alberta to better show their support. Later, after the hospital opened, the name was changed to the current "Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation".〔 Around 1989, after consultations with pediatricians and other interested residents of Edmonton, Bob and Shirley Stollery gave the donation that kicked off the campaign to build a state of the art hospital.〔 The campaign, which was run by the foundation, was successful in raising over $10 million.〔 At the time it was recognised that a free standing hospital would not be economically viable, requiring, in addition to construction costs, a large maintenance and operations budget. It was decided that the hospital would be built within the grounds of the University of Alberta's Walter C. Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre and co-exist with the University of Alberta Hospital. Originally known as the Stollery Children’s Health Centre the name was later changed to the Stollery Children's Hospital to reinforce the fact that it is completely separate and independent of the University of Alberta Hospital.〔〔(Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation ) at Benevity Causes]〕 In February 2001, doctors at the Stollery were able to successfully revive Erika Nordby, a 13-month-old child that was hypothermic. Nordby had wandered outside, where the temperature was about , wearing only a diaper, and collapsed in a snow bank. When the girl was found, sometime after 3 am, her body temperature was and she had no pulse. Paramedics were called but could not revive her while transporting her to the hospital. After about 90 minutes doctors were able to get her heart operating again; in total she had spent about two hours clinically dead.〔(Frozen toddler's recovery a 'miracle': doctors )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stollery Children's Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
