BureauCats Dance Raises $4,326 For Genesis NICU

Davenport, IA – Several hundred Quad Citians enjoyed  music, danced the night away and raised $4,326 in the process at a benefit dance for the Genesis Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The BureauCats, a rock and roll band made up of musicians who work in government, provided the entertainment and generously donated the proceeds from the Jan. 13 event to the Genesis NICU.

Superior technology, experienced and highly skilled nurses, and an emphasis on family-centered care make the NICU at Genesis Medical Center, East Rusholme Street a regional leader in the care of critically ill newborns. The unit can handle complex cases involving babies who are born 27 weeks gestation, or nearly three months premature. Its Iowa Department of Public Health designation as a Level II Regional Center means it is able to provide neonatal transport services and a high level of ventilator and respiratory support.
