Rosebud Hospital equipment nurse Jessica Hall and nurse unit manager Liz Honolley.
Southern Peninsula residents or visitors who have needed medical attention at the Rosebud Hospital emergency department will know the dedicated doctors and nurses who work there provide excellent care. The department treats nearly 22,000 patients a year, and to meet the growing demand on equipment and staff the hospital has set its biggest fundraising target yet in its annual summer fundraising appeal.
The goal is to raise $117,700 to help purchase a new fleet of emergency department trolleys. In its seventh year, the appeal runs from December through to the end of February, so now is your chance to chip in and support this cause.
Jacqueline Allen, the hospital’s acting director of operations and director of nursing, said: “Whether it is a boating accident, a cardiac emergency or a summer holiday accident, we are there for everyone. I know $117,700 is a big target, but I also know the power of our community coming together.”
The trolleys will be used to safely transport patients from the ward to radiology for scanning without the need to move them from one bed to another. Their built-in scales are a helpful addition for pediatric patients, who are required to be weighed for care. For critically unwell children, these scales will be valuable in managing their emergency medication and care.
All donations go towards helping the hospital pay for lifesaving equipment and resources to better provide patient care. Donations can be made online at www.rosebudhospitalsummerappeal.org.au, or you can scan the QR code on this page.
