Tuscaloosa Flower Shoppe and Northport Fire Rescue Join Forces
to Benefit The DCH Foundation’s Finn & Quinley Infant and Children’s Fund

Tuscaloosa Flower Shoppe and Northport Fire Rescue have joined forces to benefit the DCH Health System’s neonatal intensive care units, pediatrics unit and maternal/child areas.

Tuscaloosa Flower Shoppe will sell special arrangements for Mother’s Day, and those arrangements will be delivered on Friday, May 9 by off-duty Northport Fire Rescue firemen, according to Casey Johnson, director of development of The DCH Foundation. The delivery fees, tips and any other donations will benefit The Finn & Quinley Infant and Children’s Fund.

“Celebrate MOM will inspire people to make a difference in the lives of mothers and children in West Alabama while giving them a way to recognize the special mothers in their life,” Johnson said.

“The Finn & Quinley Infant and Children’s Fund provides improvements for infants, children and their families throughout the DCH Health System,” said Molly Ingram, vice president of development for The DCH Foundation. “Finn and Quinley McInerney’s lives were short, but their legacy lives on in the gifts we can provide to our mothers and children in West Alabama.”

Finn and Quinley McInerney were born at Northport Medical Center in 2004. The fund created in their memory has provided many improvements for infants, children and mothers at both DCH Regional Medical Center and Northport Medical Center, including mother and child feeding rooms in the NICUs, equipment to assist in a baby’s development, and updated computers in Northport Medical Center’s birthing suites. The fund has also provided specialized continuing education for nurses and emergency assistance for parents in need of lodging and support.
