Thanks to the generosity of local quilters, infants and young children who come to Elk Regional for care and need to be transferred to another hospital will be able to take comfort in the warmth of a hand-made quilt.
Tammy Cherry and Emily Snelick, the sisters-in-law who own Tangled Threads on Erie Avenue, recently presented 50 child-sized quilts to the Emergency Department and The Maternity Unit at Elk Regional Health Center. Local quilters spent the several months making the quilts as part of the “Cuddling Kids” project. Each child who receives a quilt at Elk Regional will be able to keep it.
