Remember When...?
The birth of your baby is a momentous occasion.
With a spot on our ‘A Star Is Born’ wall, you’ll always be reminded of that special day and the place where you met your sweet newborn for the first time.
Even if your baby wasn’t born in the new Obstetrics and Newborn Care Unit, you can still have a star created for them and added to our wall at any time.
A permanent spot in your heart deserves a permanent spot on our wall
Once you’ve purchased and customized your star, it’ll be displayed on our ‘A Star Is Born’ wall, located in the Obstetrics and Newborn Care Unit. When you donate through the ‘A Star is Born’ Program, your money goes towards helping moms and babies get the best care possible at The Moncton Hospital.
