Art Gallery, Premature Infant Foundation Make Donations To WellStar NICU

ROSWELL, GA -- Valerie Jackson, owner of Ann Jackson Gallery, and Michael D. Litten, founder of the Foundation for Premature Infants, presented a donation last week to the WellStar Foundation in support of the North Fulton Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The gallery donated a very limited edition lithograph from one of Dr Seuss’s iconic books, "Horton Hears a Who!"

As one of only 30 galleries in the world licensed by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Valerie Jackson, Ann Jackson Gallery owner, said she was “delighted to share this picture with all the families of premature babies who receive world class care in her home town hospital.”

The Foundation for Premature Infants made a separate donation of $500, which will be used for continued education purposes for the clinicians who perform life-saving work in the WellStar North Fulton Hospital NICU every day (SIGN UP: Get Patch's Daily Newsletter and Real Time News Alerts.

Litten said he was “honored to team up with Valerie and the Ann Jackson Gallery in making a joint donation because the Foundation’s core belief is, as Horton said so succinctly and eloquently, ‘a person’s a person, no matter how small’.”

WellStar, a non-profit health system, purchased North Fulton Hospital in 2016 and since the acquisition, community philanthropists, businesses leaders and WellStar team members have made contributions to expand healthcare services at North Fulton Hospital.
